Brent,

The first lesson learned....don't take your bimmer "off-road"<g>...I can't
believe you didn't hit your front air dam and "buckle" both fenders (this is
very common...ask me how I know).

Although not visible, in all likelihood you have a cracked oil pan...best
thing to do is wipe the engine and all lines "clean" and watch for the leak.
If it is the pan, the aluminum can be welded (off the car of course)....just
take it to a knowledgable welder.
