Makes me wonder what the oil is from. There should be no oil from that type of bend. Take a look around and try to figure out where the oil is coming from.
You will need to get a new bracket welded on. Dynatrac should be able to supply you with one to replace it.
That is a good example of what the EVO MFG Front Control Arm Skids are intended to prevent. Possibly look into these when you replace the bracket.

Why is there oil everywhere? did you hit the oil pan really hard too?
Could be from the steering stabilizer spewing junk everywhere
And yeah you can order new brackets and get them welded up.

I did that before on my TJ. Clayton Offroad has new brackets. Just go to www.claytonoffroad.com. You will need to cut both old ones off and weld on the new ones. Not that hard just need someone who is a decent welder.
