The oil pick up sits very close to the bottom of the sump, if the sump is dented it might be partially blocking the pickup.... or worse still bent the pickup as well. By the sound of it the pickup is drawing in air, whchi makes me think it is probably damaged... i.e. either bent or fractured above the oil level.

Only way to really tell is to drain the oil and have the sump pan off. You might be able to knock the dent out, otherwise there's plety of R's breaking on here... you should be able to pick one up.
