How low?
It's quite possible you could have spun a bearing, but you would have had to run completely out of oil.
Other than that, you wouldn't have done any damage to the engine or housings, they can actually run for wuite a long time without the OMP hooked up. A few days isn't going to do much.
It got hot?? Maybe you did completely run out of oil.
You probably spun a bearing, causing a lot of friction inside the engine, causing it to be hard to start.
Go buy a minivan and pay someone else to take care of it.
