Ran engine out of oil, could I have damaged something?

Thanks for the swift reply. That's a lot of different places where the leak could come from.

I've put so much money into my car lately that this may be the end.
I'll go for the oil change, ask the mechanic if he can detect any leaks, and take it from there.

Hi Roy,

Thanks for the answer.

I'm still hoping that no great damage occurred because I added between 4 and 5 liters of oil as soon as the car had stopped. I checked the oil today again. There is plenty of it, although it does not exactly look clean. The drippings are small; one could even say they are getting smaller. But then I haven't driven the car now in about 5 days. Just observing.

Of course, the leaks might be more substantial when the car is being driven, i.E. With the rising temperature. If there were great damage, would there not be a lot of oil, even when the car is parked?

I am not willing to put hundreds of dollars into this car again. Recently had a new radiator installed, the brake fluid container replaced, and some other smaller repairs done. I might decide to not even get the oil change done and just drive the car to the recycling plant. But it is a hard thing to do.

M.T.
