I don't know? Broken oil pump maybe? I don't know what kind of motor she even has on her car. :? A/C VW?
Something has to have broken. I suspect oil pump. Pull off the cover and turn motor by hand. See if gears rotate.
Maybe pick up tube came loose?

If you pulled off the oil line from the oil pump cover and nothing was being pumped out I suspect something is wrong with the oil pump. Process of elimination from this point. Hopefully it is not serious.

If the oil pump is not turning pull it out and see if the cam is turning.

Does it have dry sump? Some dry sump pumps use woodruff keys that can shear. My buddy's did it for no apparent reason. Replaced it and its been fine for 3 - 4 rides.

I doubt it is dry sump. He said in one of his posts that he pulled off a full flow hose. Full flow usually means regular oil pump.
