I had an EFATO in a Ho, 38 lbs under gross going through 1000 ft. Bad news was the choice was go back for the NDB circle to land at barely minimums to my departure airport, or fly 100 miles over the mountains on one engine to the nearest airport. I chose the approach back to the departure airport. It worked OK, but could definitely be categorized as a “significant emotional event”.
The part that made my head explode was that 2 other pilots had put a total of 6 litres of oil in the engine over the the last 4 flight hours. The last 2 litres was added before my last flight because the other Pilot thought he was being “helpful”, but of course didn’t think it was noteworthy enough to tell me
