I would just fix the pan and keep driving it.
no that was the last 1QT that came out lol. the engine bay was smoking already but i think that was due to the exhaust pipe burning the oil. when i look under the car, everything after the motor was soak with oil, even the diff and my back bumper to my tail light.

How long were you driving for after the pan cracked?

just run it hard to get all oil hot then it will divide into more oil cause heat makes things expand. or was that cold. fuck.

And I doubt you were riding it very hard after the nice thud that comes along w/ a cracked pan.
