94 Q45 cracked oil pan

[kpking]

Cracked oil pan this morning. Unaware of it. Drove 9 miles. Afterward drove 2 miles and engine lost power and died. Able to jump car and get it started. Seemed to be a battery issue. Checked stick, saw low oil level. Added oil and saw it streaming from oil pan. RE-started engine, and it sounds horrible. Was able to drive the 1/2 mile home. What damage could have been done to engine. Does the fact it still drives encourage it's future. Oil pan is badly damaged for sure.

Check the compression on each cylinder with a digital gauge.

Let me guess...the car is lowered? Cheapest to just junk the car and find another, seriously.

But there are a couple of threads on R&R of the oil pan.

For cracks, some people have been able to use JB Weld. I don't understand "crack" without a substantial dent which can be much worse as the oil pick up is close by.
