2001 - Internal Damage Near Oil Cap - Can Someone Diagnose? (Help! Pics Inside)

#1
My girlfriend bought this car about three months ago, at the time it had a fresh oil change and plenty of oil in it, I didn't find out about the excessive oil consumption until recently when she tried to start the car and the oil light flashed on and off a few times. I checked the oil level right off and found that it was empty and just about dry so I bought an oil change kit, but when I opened the oil cap I saw what is in these pictures, it appears the metal is cracked and you can see where the gear is sticking through the wall or whatever it is that is broken in these pictures. Any help would be greatly appreciated folks! Thanks in advance!
