    I lost all the oil from the hybrid engine due to a night accident when I climbed over the curb in a dark intersection with a narrow road split.
    I am now waiting for the mechanic in the morning to check how bad is the hybrid engine Crack on the bottom casing.
    Question: do you think that there was also internal damage to the hybrid engine parts???

    Impact speed?
    How quickly did you stop after hitting an obstacle?
    There may be no mechanical damage.
    If the movement was stopped, the liquid did not have time to leak out quickly.
    It is better to check the high voltage windings of the MG for leaks with a good megohmmeter.

    Scraping the bottom shouldn't have damaged the internal parts of the engine. If the car ran for more than a minute or two without oil then the bearings or cylinder walls may be badly damaged.
