Scooter hit concrete on bottom and oil is running out the drain plug?

i was riding my VIP scooter and hit a big bump and the drain plug on the bottom was draining oil what kind of oil does it take and how do i fix the drainingScooter hit concrete on bottom and oil is running out the drain plug?
probably uses 10W30 oil. as for the leaking oil. check your engine carefully as you may have cracked your case or your plug just may be loose. If the drain plug is damaged but not the threads, get a new plug. Not sure but if the motor has a separate oil pan and the threads to the drain hole are damaged, you need a new oil pan. Other wise you might be looking at a new engine unless you can have someone tig weld your case but that sometimes doesn't turn out well. If its the worst case scenario you can try pig putty to fix a cracked case but it wont last forever even if you do it and it looks good. Good luck.Scooter hit concrete on bottom and oil is running out the drain plug?
read your manual...and get a new drain plug (if it will fit, now that you've damaged it...)
