The oil pan gasket was also destroyed. Although I was fortunate enough to be able to drive from my house around the corner to my local mechanic, this could have become a dangerous scenario considering most of my driving is done on busy freeways -- this could have caused severe oil slicking, sudden loss of power, and/or total engine failure. All of which could have resulted in a fatal, multi-vehicle accident.  This appears to be a relatively common incident involving this particular year and model according to a New Jersey federal case ([XXX] et al v. Volkswagen [XXX] et al.), and several other complaints found.
