He is probably saying that the main bearings are damaged from lack of lubrication. if you didnt shut down the engine right after the oil leak it doesnt take long to damage the engine. I would replace the engine in that case.

Does my Aveo have a oil pan sensor I hit something and busted a hole in my oil pan after I fixed the oil pan and oil now it has a loud knock and doesn't want to stay running

If oil pan is bend you need to take the dent out or replace it because your connecting road is kicking and gets stock
If after you fix that the noise still there you might run it with low oil and connecting road is doing the noise

Why would I have a hole in my oil pan and water/oil mixed coming out on a 98chevy suburban vortex 5.7

Your hole in the oil pan is from some damage caused when the vehicle hit something over rough terrain, I am assuming since it is a 4x4. The mixture of water and oil is because you have some leak whether it is a blown gasket or maybe some hole internally in the engine. Do you notice a brownish foam at the end of the oil dipstick if you check the oil, that is usually a sign that water is seeping into the oil parts of the engine.

Could be a broken oil pressure sending line or something worse.... Hole in oil pan, broken/missing (blown-off) oil filter.

New oil pan gasket leaks at the rear.

Try again use silicon sealant where needed eg ends of rubber All bolt holes in pan need to be "peaned" back (hit with ball hammer) Watch torque settings. Often too tight splits gasket. Clean Dry surface = no oil
Make sure it's not the main seal leaking !

Yesterday I hit somenting, and all the oil of my camaro 98 drained... how can i fix it.

You probably put a hole in your oil pan. It has to be removed, cleaned, and patch the hole. Make sure you have a fresh gasket and silicone when you replace the pan. Your local auto parts store can give you some tips for the job.

I hit something in the road and it put a hole in my oil pan, I had the oil pan replaced,but the car still wouldn't start replaced batery and the car would crank but still won't stat. My car is a 97 Dodge...

sometimes vehicles are equipped with an inertia switch wich means that when you hit something or the car has a big impact, that switch will shut off the fuel pump...

i know for a fact that on ford models they are located in the trunk on the right side...

you should check for that first and if you have one just press the button to reset...

1999 Ford Explorer Oil Leak

You most likely hit a curb, the pan is cast aluminum and will break like glass if you hit a curb, the pan can be changed without removing the engine, it is very time consuming, but it can be done.
