That means with engine pressure, you're out of oil in 10 miles and a leak that size is bound to leak without the pump at about 1/10 the rate... where the hell are you gonna buy all that oil? And can't someone just put some putty on it if there's at least a small parts store... no a cracked oil pan isn't a problem a mechanic couldn't patch... you need a bad CV joint that sounds like the devil is coming out of your axel... in a far away place, that could take days and there's no patching that and that's a ticking time bomb... for real.
