Examples

The hot oil that should have been circulating inside the engine case, lubricating the four thundering pistons, was somehow coming out into the engine compartment itself, and from there it was sliding upwards and backwards in droplets through the engine cowling's crack-like edges to hit the glass of the windscreen ¦ and from there, gradually to spread and cover the whole windscreen with oil ¦ and so, effectively, blind the pilot.
Second Wind Francis, Dick 1999
