Default Bottomed out... lost ALL oil!

So the GF was driving the A6 today, bottomed out going about 15 mph over a little dip in the road.... all the oil spilled out. I had the plastic guard removed as I was monitoring an oil leak so there was direct contact with the pavement.

Any ideas... cracked oil pan? dislodged oil filter (hopefully)?

Just dropped it off at the dealership.

The "gf" eh?? Well, if it's already at the dealers, you'll find out soon enough.

Default I did that this summer

I was going over some rail road tracks.. cracked it in a few spots.. So I pulled it, and tried to get it welded up.. I found a new one for about a hundred bucks, but I wanted to save some money.. the welder could not get the metal to stick, so I took it back, cleaned it up, and then put JB weld on it. Now this was just hair line cracks along some of the baffles. I JB welded BOTH sides, inside and out.. and so far, no leaks and no problems.

Default Bummer. Mine is stock, but some of the speed bumps out here would qualify as

berms at Supercross events. Photo the location and assess if the dip was properly marked. City I used to work for paid handsomely for a bad dip that damaged several cars.
