It's likely that the oil filter was punctured or sliced into (or simply broke the bead on the seal). I would drain what's left of the oil and pull off the filter and inspect it. That is the most logical thing....I really doubt that any pan bolts came loose.

Whatever you do, do not drive it until you figure it out!

I agree, best of luck.

UTVitz: I was afraid of motor damage too, but luckily I didn't lose all my oil so I got home safely and quickly. It was starting to struggle just seconds before I turned it off though. It's running just fine now minus the battle scars. ..Well I guess now's a good time to finally get that Netz emblem. And get a steam-cleaning to get rid of that burning old oil smell and smoke....

mryaris: You were 100% dead-on about filter damage! I worked on it this morning. I opened the drain plug, but since it was sitting there dripping all night nothing came out lol. Turned-out the filter shell was crumpled like a beer can and the rubber seal was separated. It was so deformed that I couldn't even take my filter wrench to it. Had to hand-torque the greasy bastard for almost 10 minutes to get it out. Thanks for your help. Appreciate it.

And as promised, the messy pics that make you say "WTF...":

Stupid truck, and stupid cone. Glad it isn't worse!

^Just the usual underside phantom grommet/screw clip that I'd otherwise lose anyway to another parking bump-stop. The folly of having a lowered car lol. I keep the splash shield tucked under the bumper's clipping point, so it's not a big deal. Nothing to flap in the wind...

Thanks Astroman. He almost did hit another car too after spitting out the cone, so I'm sure he finally got his miles down the freeway. As for my end it's just a really messy oil change that came 1000 miles early this time around lol. I'll deal with the missing emblem later
