Engine sheild broken

I have a fiery black Logan GLE1.4 run around 65000 KMS. Last night my car got hit in one of the huge humps. Next day I found all the engine oil got drained. I showed to local garage and was told that there is crack on the bottom of engine mould. They fixed it with some paste which costed me around 1000 bucks and 1000 bucks for oil. Due to the impact on hitting the speed breaker, my power steering also is not working like earlier. But still I little drops of oil leaking.

Pls advice what is to be done immediately

Thanks

Drive more carefully !

My 1.6 comes with engine protector plate below. I believe its quite bullet proof. What are the chances of something gone thru that to the oil sump ?
Have mahindra skimped that in the 1.4 version ?
Try to source the engine sump with a gasket from mahindra or salvage market and change it. Dont rely repair job. Also have the hydarulic system of power steering checked at authorized service station ASAP.

Well If you hit a Speed Bump at High speed it will damage the car !
THIS IS EXACTLY THE REASON FOR THEM

Hi,
Thanks all for your valuable and quick advices.
1.4 also comes with engine protector shield plate, but I was driving @ +140 KMS and if suddenly a huge speed breaker with no indication suddenly shows in front of me, I thought I should it ride it over, I have done it many times, but this was the first time it got hit.
I saw the engine protector shield after the hit, that was also bent and as it could not take the huge impact and the aluminum oil sump got a crack at the bottom. Some say it could be specially welded but I am thinking of changing the bottom cup of the oil sump. The mechanic also suggested to have an additional protector, but not sure it serves the purpose.

I suspect, the shocks or suspension of the vehicle after 65000 kms becomes weak and cant handle the huge impact due to pot holes or humps. Please advice on this.
I also spoke to Mahindra Service Station @ Bangalore, I was told that the Power Steering Oil pump cease to work, if the front chassis got a good hit from a pot hole or a hump.

Mean while after the hit, my left hand also hit the indicator/head lamp switch and as a result it is also not working and the head lamp keeps on glowing even if control the left side switch. So I pulled out the holders of the head lamp to stop the head light glowing.
Tomorrow after going to the service station, I will update the approximate costs.

Thanks for quick responses.

Can someone please tell me where the Speed Bumps are put in India
are they on the Motorways are they on the fast highways or are they in town ?

Is this guy Real ???

The huge speed brakers are on state highway from Bangalore to Mysore. There is no any indication or sign board which cautions us that there are consecutive huge speed brakers ahead.

True. These only cause accidents not avert them. Not marked at all.

WOW That is Stupid ! I understand in urban areas Yes but on Motorways that is plain idiocy

I have travelled on the same highway many times. Yes, these humps are not scientifically designed. Many a times these are not painted and the driver is caught unawares.
Have the cracked part of the sump replaced. Do not take any chances with that.
It can be done with insurance.

I talked to the service station and I was assured of insurance for oil sump and Power steering oil pump.
Oil Sump Cost = Rs 11,000 + tax
Power Steering Oil Pump = Rs 23,000 + Tax.

Since my vehicle is more than 3 years old, I will get 70% waived for the spares and all labor charges free.

I also talked to Sireesh @ Jakkur as advised by Surya, but they advised me to Sireesh @ HSR Layout, which is near to me, I would be giving my vehicle there.

Thanks

My experience with Sireesh, Jakkur is good. They have some very competent and technical/skilled people.
I did get some work done at Sireesh, HSR layout earlier and had some good experience there as well.
Try and keep the manager in the loop most of the times.
