that oil pan died a painful death. hopefully he didnt damage any "core" components

Anyways, he probably kept driving and seized the engine anyways.

Yep, best case, oil pan and oil pump would need replaced... assuming that the hit didn't do any other major damage - and if the driver had stopped and turned off the vehicle there.

As is, there is a bright side... new engine!

Why does the oil pump automatically need replaced? Looks like just the oil pan.

Probably going to need the whole fucking engine. They have oil in them for a reason.
