The airplane impacted an airport perimeter fence after the pilot landed long during a precautionary landing. The airplane was in cruise flight when the pilot noticed a loss of oil pressure and an increase in oil temperature. He assumed the engine was losing or had lost its oil and elected to make a precautionary landing at a nearby airport. The pilot reported he landed long and could not stop the airplane prior to the end of the 3,101-foot runway. Post-accident examination of the airplane revealed the oil line, from the oil cooler to the engine, failed. The pilot indicated the line was not an aircraft quality line.
Probable Cause: The pilot's misjudgment of the airplane's distance/speed during a precautionary landing, which resulted in the airplane overrunning the runway. Contributing factors were failure of an oil line, and the fence.
