I filled my landy up with oil on day before 4x4 day-out, whilst bashing about in the fashion its designed for, the oil light flickered when on tick over, i checked oil level, it was empty, i topped it back up, i drove it home as usual, (approx 15 miles), when i pulled into driveway, the oil light flickered again, i re-checked the oil level, it was empty again, could the sump have got cracked, would it still drive normally.
