My 300SD blew it's engine this evening

The engine sprung an oil leak somewhere and the engine died on the freeway. I popped the hood and found oil all over the injection pump and the driver's side of the engine. Oil cooler lines and oil cooler were fine. The hood mat right above the oil filter housing is soaked. I take care of this car meticulously and check for leaks all the time. The turbo drain tube and intake gasket were the only parts that had minor leaks. I changed that oil filter housing gasket a couple of years ago and it's always been clean. I can't believe this just happened. Does anyone in the Bay Area have a 617 engine that they need to sell?
