It was multiple failures really. Everything kinda tied in together to cause what happened. The oil return line was burned all the way through, the oil sending unit was damaged from a oil distribution block that had broken. when the block had broken the wire was torn out of the oil pressure switch. I have an oil pressure guage hooked up, but it wasn't mounted so I didn't notice what was going on until the damage was done. Also, the oil drain plug was completely missing.
So a couple of things. It makes me feel a little better that I checked to oil level 30 min before this destruction and there were no oil leaks noticable under the car.
