strange that,, you usually get half an hour after the oil light comes on
 
sounds like a cracked broken piston !! very common problem on that engine !! take head off take sump off remove broken piston if lucky hone bore fit new piston and rings (must be correct size) rebuild may as wel fit new bigend shells too then should be all super duper !!
