Oil cloth is inherently waterproof. There are several different waterproofing sealers/sprays/liquids out there though. I hear the Rustoleum spray works very well.
Hi Kenni, oilcloth is already waterproof so you shouldn't need to do anything.
RustOleum Never Wet would be a good option.
As the other Hometalkers have said, oilcloth is waterproof. Canvas is not waterproof in it's purest form, and yet there is a distinction between water resistant and waterproof.
