You have to treat it as an accident. Stop wherever you are even if you have to block traffic.

Engine oil cooler is designed to be low to ground and flat against floor so that flat surfaces like driveways or the ground dont damage it. However any sharp items go through it like a hot knife through butter. Just a warning to everyone on this board.
Good info! Is insurance just covering the oil cooler or the whole engine?
They are covering everything.
