Big difference between a "cracked sump plate" and a hole where the drain plug used to be....... Also totally dependent upon the condition of the AOS and the sustained vacuum level, as well as how the car is driven. We have seen two otherwise healthy engine's die to lost oil plugs, and one to a holed oil filter housing.
