hahaha, this sort of thing happened to me in a beat up junker I had once(actually I still have it, I just havent fixed it yet).  Instead of hitting a rock I hit a damn sewer cap or manhole some may call it, the ground around it was sunk in and I was driving a buddy home at like 12:30am and all I remember was going about 20mph and BAM!!!!!!!!! it felt like the whole damn car came to 75% of a stop.  I figured it hit the frame and honestly I could give two sh*ts about this car, but when I turned the corner I noticed this really dark trail behind my car and when I turned again under a street light I could see it clearly, it was oil and luckily my buddies house was like a block away from where I hit the sewer cap. Thankfully he let me park the car at his house.  The funny thing is, we got flash lights and further inspected the car once we got to his house and saw that not only did the oil bolt rip out, but it punched a hole in the transmission pan as well, and also broke a support arm for what looked like the transmission.  I attempted to pursue a claim to have the car fixed but it was like chasing your own A$$, you always seemed to be sent to someone else, so eventually I just said F@#! IT! 

But, definately not smart to keep driving! I'm pretty sure the car is fine, just needs replaced parts, and as for you Gstfat check the junkyard, it's your best deal.

yea, the gsx oil pan should fit, and you are correct the 420a has a different oil pan.. as long as you get one from a gst or gsx it should fit, the only difference is one is AWD one is FWD
