Default Merc 5.7EFI making oil

On a 2000 Mercruiser 5.7EFI with 335hrs that stopped dead at about 1000 rpm
with hydrolock after making oil from yet unknown location (flapper valve,
head gasket, intake gasket), what other damage or concerns should be looked
for (bearings, bent shafts, etc)? At this low rpm can we run 3-4 oil changes
through it, repair the leak and the engine be ok...or should we be looking
at a rebuild or remanufactured replacement.
