Hi, I have a 1996 Ford Mustang gt with a cobra engine in it, if that helps. It snowed the other day and the remaining snow on the ground was all packed down and a little slippery and a car pulled out in front of me and I fishtailed until I went up onto the curb. I did hear a decently loud "bang" sound, but drove it off the curb carefully just fine, and got it into my driveway just fine as well. But when I went to go start it to leave again, because I was on my lunch break, It had a very hard time kicking over to start. Once it did, it gave me a low oil warning and then that light shut off, and it drove just fine. I'm worried it's going to do that again, and I'll be sol on getting home. Any ideas of what it may be?

Ya checked to see if bashed in the oil pan, curbs aren't to good on those. That may be the problem and it might stop oil flow to the motor if you keep it that way for a while as the pickup is close to the bottom of pan.
