I've heard stories to the same effect, but, unless the engine gets a steady and huge supply of oil (much more than one quart every 50 miles), I don't see a runaway situation happening.
I'm sure it's occurred in the past, but, it's certainly spoken about far more than any experiences are posted.
In my case, it was white smoke........and lots of it.
