Read the full NTSB narrative
DURING THE PREFLIGHT INSPECTION THE CERTIFICATED PRIVATE PILOT FAILED TO ASSURE THAT THE OIL CAP WAS PROPERLY SECURED. SHORTLY AFTER DEPARTING ON A CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT THE OIL SCREEN BECAME OIL SOAKED AND COMPLETELY OBSCURED. THE PILOT RETURNED TO THE AIRPORT. DURING THE LANDING THE AIRPLANE BOUNCED AND EXITED THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND COLLIDED WITH A DRAINAGE DITCH.
