Unfortunately I hit a bump in the road and busted my sump, due to how close I was to home a carried on driving just to try get the car on my drive witch was less than a minute away, all the oil was leaking out my car at a rapid paste then all of a sudden it started to make a rattly sound like a diesel car, the oil light came on and It then started to lose power!! This happened so quickly the car then came to a stop and shuts off, I left it for abit but was just about 10 second from my drive way so I turned it back over and it came back on with the same rattly noise i quickly put it on my drive and shut it of...I ordered a new Sump and it’s on the way but I’m worried if this has damaged my engine, i was thinking it would only be a quick fix to get a new sump top it back up with oil and start it, but I’m just curious am I guna need a new engine even tho I didn’t drive far with the car or there’s still a chance to save it!!! Please help!

You might get away with new sump and oil worth a try before you install another engine
