2011 VE SSV Pierced Oil Sump/Pan

Hi guys im battilng another project now.

Recently bought a car with knock in the engine and the second there was a lake of oil under the car. Well thats what the seller told me.

Long story short today i wanted to see what is going on. Went under the car cleaned all oil residue Topped with almost 2L of fresh oil then then heard oil dripping on the concrete raced under the car and i found where it was leaking from and i touched and then a piece of the sump came off. And it looked it had an impact from inside.

Now my question to the veterans on here, what the hell is going on?? how did that happened? what came loose? and what to do. please look at the attached photos and let me know your thought. TIA

... new engine time

something BIG has let go inside!

Once you pull the engine out and pull the sump off, please share what let go and a couple of pics as well would be cool.

You knowingly bought as car with an engine knock and oil under the engine

Hope you bought it cheap enough to be able to replace the engine

PS: if you're lucky there may be lots of engine parts that are serviceable and thus sellable...

hahha nah mate the furtherest im going to take the sump off and see whats going on and put a new one. if its dead then be it

drain the oil out and get a little camera in there see if u can make out any issues, that is a strange spot to hit tho from inside or out

the piece that came out looks like its been hit from inside. im just curious what would get to there and cause that much damage/force.

for anything to hit it has to be broken so its either a 7 cyl LS somehow still running(ish) or something real strange got in there and knocked into it

Might be a problem with a disconnecting rod...

The missing 10mm socket ?
