Analysis
The Piper cherokee PA-28-140 lost power and made an off airport landing 15 minutes after takeoff. The pilot reported an oil line broke and he lost all engine oil. A mechanic reported that there was no indication in either the engine compartment or the bottom of the fuselage of a oil leak or broken oil line. The reason for the loss of engine oil could not be determined.
