Default Check out this hole I got in my engine!

Yeah so 3 weeks ago I was on the highway and my engine sounded real bad. So I got it towed at let it sit in my driveway until friday I decided to pull out the motor knowing that I was getting the new one this week. When I drained the oil there was metal, then when I lifted the motor out I saw this, a hole. I haven't pulled the pan off, but tomorrow I will find out! It's 11 o' clock from the sending unit.
