I heard about this recall last year.  Had one local car go bang but they fixed it under warranty.

I looked at it and thought "oil Leaks ? Lotus ? Situation Normal, All....."   (respecting the family forum, if you don't get it you're not old enough  ;)   )

It's not a "leak".  The oil cooler hose breaks resulting in the immediate and total loss of oil pressure.
