Exclamation oil pan gasket?

i bought this 96 plymouth neon and i ran into the incident of the throttle getting stuck wide open and came to the conclusion its cuz the battery box was broke and got wedged under the throttle due to the battery being to big but after that happened i shut the car right off when the throttle was stuck open after i pulled over and shut it off then alot of oil came out on the ground and it looked like the oil pan gasket finally went anyone know why it would blow the gasket right out?It was already leaking so he was putting 30 weight oil in there could that caused it to blow out more?any help is greatly appreciated thanks

maybe the PVC is clogged and couldn't open, created too much pressure and blew out the gasket, or the gasket was about to completely fail in the first place.
