How long will 240D run at zero oil pressure?

Just wondering... Seems the old boat ran aground somewhere, puncturing a small hole in the oil pan. Daughter #3 was probably running errands with the oil guage pegged at 0, because there's a puddle in the driveway, and the pan is EMPTY!! Any guesses how long the 240D can run without damage?

I'll have the pan off soon to repair it. (Any success stories with welding or brazing?) Should I do some rudimentary inspections to determine damage? I'm inclined to just fill it back up and run it, come what may...
