That was most likely caused by letting it sit at low idle without tarping it in. Caused it to drool and pump out the oil. Tarps and an elevated idle would've negated that. We actually very rarely see this anymore. Modern electronic engines will elevate their own idle and rarely, rarely drool.
The other scenario would be an oil or coolant leak and then running to destruction, without supervision.
Either way, that is unfortunate.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA $35,000!!! You better bump that up a fair bit, and we might cover parts. Labour is another story.
