240d hit a bump, dumped oil

That's what I get for letting my GF drive the car.. She calls, says the car hit a bump and scraped something, that was just a block away from where she was going. She parks, comes back and finds oil all over and a trace of oil from where she came from.

It's dark now so I'll postpone going to check it out to tomorrow, but.. Is it something known/typical? Didn't find anything using search. Will I be likely looking at a disconnected oil line somewhere, or a busted oil pan?

Such a shame, the thing was running so well with very little blow-by, started every time on the first crank and no valve lash at all.. At least it looks like it was not running without oil, most of it leaked out while the car was parked.
