Well I think this is a big problem but I am really hoping people that have had experience with this tell me different but I really dont think thats gonna happen.
Well I rode in cooke city for two days everything ran fine no issues. This morning riding to the truck to load up and go home all of a sudden the sled shuts itself off and I look down and the oil light is on and I never noticed it intill the sled shut itself down. I opened the side pannel and theres oil everywhere and I couldnt see any left in the tank. I havent had a chance to look at it close enough to see what happened. But tho only thing I can think of is the ROV froze shut and the tank pressured up and ruptured the tank and I didnt catch the oil light till it was over. I didnt start the sled again I got a tow to the truck loaded it up and now im on my way home.
what you guys think? My engine done for? Any other explaination for the oil leak from somewhere?

I'd bet you have a cracked oil tank but not due to the ROV, just that they have been known to do that. I'd bet the oil shortage didn't do major damage to the motor. Order a new tank from OFT and get new oil in to the system.
Good thats what I was hoping to hear

The motor mostly shut down from the lost of oil pressure before hurting the motor.
Found the problem there is a small crack not even visible to the eye on the suction of the tank
