	Similar happened to me last year, In my case it was the hose on the near side oil cooler. The clip is one of those "micky mouse " things not a proper jubilee hose clip. It had been assembled on top of the pipe swage not behind it, and had taken 2500 miles to pop bloody good job I was in the garage at home , not blatting down some motorway which could have resulted in a major "off". so if you have dumped so much oil start looking at the flow and return hoses for the coolers , and then check the oil tank behind the nearside fairing the connection between that and the motor.
