350x'inNY

Well..... I got my 'new' daily driver 350X out of the trailer and into the shop for the first time. I bought it at night, and could only look at it with a half dead flashlight. Well.... I looked in front of the front sproket and ran my finger over it, and thought it was fine.
When I was looking at it tonight however, sometime in it's existance, the chain broke through both the Flywheel cover, and the Left engine case. There's a 'hole' about a ½" square up towards the top of the sprocket.
I probably already know what I have to do.... BUT.... how much damage do you think may already be in there from the previous owner driving it this way? If mud gets thrown in there from the chain, does it fall into the oil or just get tossed onto the flywheel? Is there anyway to 'patch' it or tape over it? OR.... do I need to replace the Flywheel cover and the Left case? (Which is what I know I should do! :rolleyes: )
Does anyone have these pieces for me? AND a case saver/sprocket cover? :?
