i wouldnt of thought it would burst into flames, ive drove cars where the rocker gasket has been so bad the oil was just dripping onto the manifold!
i would be more worried that somethings not getting the oil, like the turbo!

Take it easy and don't thrash it. As long as it's not absolutely pissing out oil then a drip or 2 will soon burn off without setting on fire.
If it is pissing out then I advise recovering the car to a workshop.

yeah but ford will take your pants down for it, was it about £45 or something daft? for a 6" pipe dont know if anyone does an uprated one, the heat sends them hard and they crack hence leaking oil, and with it being above the down pipe/exhaust it smokes a good un

yea replace it, either a ford hose or get a length cut, but it may? need a slight bend in it so the hose dont fold as it's short/needs to bend slightly. watch the hose clips though if your using the adjustable ones cos they can split the hose easy if over tightened.

it sounds like your oil return pipe! the car aint going to burst into flames even if you put petrol on the exhaust!! normally you wont need a new pipe unless its split, just stick some jubilee clips on both ends and it'll be fine, also check you sump gasket while your there.
