I had the oil pressure gauge pipe fracture on a Midget 1500 on the M1. The pressure reading started to fall, so I looked behind and I was making a dense fog of oil smoke. After pulling over it wasn't apparent where the smoke was coming from until I revved it to 3000 revs, when a fine jet of oil sprayed onto the exhaust manifold. The dipstick reading had gone from full to under the low mark in a couple of miles or so. I always carried a reserve of oil at that time, so topped it up and proceeded with care until I could fix it.
