Default How Bad Is This Damage?



Yesterday while driving I hit a nice size rock that was unavoidable .. instantly their was the loudest boom and a streak of oil about 50yds . As soon as it happened within milliseconds I put the car in neutral got to the side of the road and cut it off . All within that 5-7 second time frame car ran fine no low oil light etc while waiting to be towed as you’d expect their was a big puddle of engine oil .. I assumed it was the oil pan and actually pray it is .. after the incident I got towed home I’ve reachef out to my insurance . Whatever damage it is will be taking care of . What I need you guys help for is to analyze this video I have to determine if the damage is indeed the oil pan and if so I’d like to know so I can actually reverse this claim and probably repair myself . I have no way of lifting and getting under her car being it can’t move .. here is some shots of a shotty video I was able to capture let me know what you guys think

Some better images would help. Perhaps instead of a video you could take some shots with your mobile and upload them. Some close, some not so close.

Just noticed you had also posted in Under the Hood. That is where the action is.

It looks like the transmission mount to me too. Mine was bent too. I fixed it with a large vise.
