There was an object in the road I went over at night I heard a bump and noticed by the time I had got home both the oil and engine management lights had come on I checked the oil after a while and it was completly dry (I do check the oil weekly and know that it shouldnt have been empty. The next day I tried topping up the oil and checked under the car and noticed the oil pooring from a concentrated area of the sump,
Is there any way I can seal the leak with out changing the sump just for a temp fix so I can run the car and cheak there is no other damage,
Kind regards Blacksqueek

No, no way and you are risking your whole engine by even attempting it or running the engine at all until you have the pan replaced.
