More than likely the service tech screwed something up.

Bleh saw this too late.. So anyway verizon cancelled my order so I was able to make it down there today and I took pics..

The guy did not describe it very well over the phone. I basically did lose the line to my oil cooler... except that it didnt break where you would have thought it did. Basically where the oil cooler attachment threaded in it took a chunk out of the oil cooler pan (breaking it off) which caused the oil leak. They are being iffy on warranty though because they are still acting like its fault of the oil cooler saying the weight and what not from the oil cooler/lines caused stress and ****... Sigh...

Anyway they do say that they think the engine is ok but they will do a compression test later to know for sure. Here are pics:
