Bottomed out

I was cruising some back roads the other day. And the road was tore up and I dragged the bottom of my car. Needless to say I then watched my oil pressure steadily dropping. It spun my drain plug out. After I put a new plug and oil in it still leaks. I think it only leaks while running. Any ideas?

what area of the motor is the drip coming from? To be honest you need to whipe down the complete bottom of your car and let your car sit to see where it really is coming from, other wise all the wind is just blowing the leak around, not really giving you a accurate idea as to were to the leak is coming from.
