Thanks.  If this is not a casting failure, that is a good explanation.  Or the rider hit something - hard - & it cracked.  Back in the days when I worked in a garage I can remember when people would bring in a vehicles that "nothing happened to" & then find part of whatever it was they hit embedded underneath their vehicle.  It's part of human nature - the Sgt. Schutlze kind.

Anybody that has worked in a dealership for more than 1 week can tell you the "I was just driving down the road and the engine fell out" stories. My favorites always surrounded when a car came in and the oil pan was ripped off. The owner never had any idea how it happened. First question: "you got any teen-age drivers in the house?" UHHHHHHHHH...

 ;D  Never had one ripped off but saw one with hole & the owner said "the motor just stopped running." No oil.  Worst ones were "It made this real funny noise" & then when you popped the hood you saw what used to be a cat.

Here's one,....

I was working at an auto repair shop in Arlington VA and a lady driving an Audi 100 pulls in the driveway. There is oil running out of the pan. The first words out of her mouth were, "This car serves Jesus Christ". I look under the engine and there is a one inch gouge in the bottom of the pan. I said "Ma'am, you can't drive this car, it's leaking oil from a hole". She asks, "Can your fix it?" I said "The pan needs to be replaced, or removed and welded properly". Get this, she says "Can you use glue or tape?" I said, "No, it needs to be done properly, you can't jury rig this". She says,..."But this car serves Jesus", so I replied "Then get him to fix it, I'm not touching it" and walked away. She drove off. How far before before the motor locked up, I do not know.
