My TL is leaking Motor Oil?!?! Help

My TL is leaking motor oil excessively, I notice it after I jumped a railroad track and the rail scrape the front bottom of the car. Is there possibility I broke the oil pan?? Is oil pan cost a fortune to replace?

And if it's not BS, then the answers are YES and YES. Get thyself to a mechanic (after adding oil).

its pretty hard to hit oil pan alone, may also have broke other things too.

why is that BS??? he very well could have shifted the oil pan enough to force a leak, or crack it. the tl oil pan is cast aluminium.

id recomend crawling under it and see where its leaking from. you may have to bring it in for a new pan

Sorry - I just saw "jumped a railroad track" and noticed it was his first post and presumed it might be a troll. I have Dukes of Hazzard visions in my head of jumping tracks at 80 MPH or something..........and then he wonders if he might have broken something. If he actually needs help - then yes, I would crawl under or go to a mechanic ASAP.
