According to a pilot/witness, the pilot was in cruise flight, in formation with 6 other airplanes, when he reported over the radio that he had an unspecified oil problem. The pilot/witness had a hand held GPS, so he gave the pilot of the accident airplane magnetic bearing and distance to the nearest airport. The pilot/witness stated that the accident airplane started an immediate turn and descent for what appeared to be a straight-in to the runway. Witnesses reported that the airplane approached the runway with the landing gear and the flaps down. One witness stated that the pilot of the accident airplane flew approximately three quarters of the way down the runway before landing. The airplane rolled off the end of the runway and down an embankment. Postaccident examination revealed no evidence of preimpact mechanical malfunction of the engine or it's systems, including the lubricating system. The pilot reported that he does not recall the accident flight.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to attain the proper touchdown point on the runway during a precautionary landing. A factor was an undetermined lubricating system problem.
