I saw plenty of photos this week.
it looks as if a stick like a marker post has got caught over the axle and dented the sump by a tiny amount.
the oil pick up is cast alloy pipe-it was pushed up and broke off the pipe mounting bolts and flange.the pipe has fallen off and been picked up by the crank and pushed through the side of the block.the pipe is alloy and i couldnt see a mark on it.
last guess was $30k-but it pollicy that repairs over $2500 have to go to independant repair and insurance.they decide if its accedental etc.
