I'll put my money on the filter.
Either it was overly tightened and the threads were stressed...or it wasn't tightened enough and has slowly shaken itself loose.
Reach down and check the seal and tightness of your filter. You don't need your buddy or a VAG to check that.
If it's just the filter, the extent of damage/other problems swings back to how long you drove the car or had the engine turning when there was no oil in the car.
Have you checked the oil level to see if it's completely dry? (i.e. BAD news) or if it's still got a quart or two? (i.e. less bad news).

Wow, hope you get it worked out. I would get a new filter (preferably an oem one) and....
install it, along w/ some more oil and eliminate that purolator filter as the culprit. Just my $.02
