I had the same thing happen to me, but i have the stillen blower. I floored it for a little bit then the next thing you know i have a big cloud of burning oil smoke inside the cabin and the rear of the G. Luckily i was also a couple of blocks away from my house. I pulled up to my garage and quickly turned off the G. I looked under the car and there was a small pool of oil already. I waited couple of minutes, pulled out a flashlight, and i saw nothing wrong. Then i noticed that the oil leaking out looked to be coming out from the dipstick. I pushed the dipstick in to see if maybe it came out, and yes, the daym thing was not all the way in. I inhaled and exhaled to calm my self down relaxed cleaned the G and redid the oil change. Also chck your dipstick and make sure its not worn out from where it stays in place. Mine was, had to purchase a new 1.

sorry to bring back an old thread but would a dipstick that's not seated correctly cause a massive drop in oil pressure at idle? After it warmed up - I usually idle at like 15-30 and it read 0 (this is my nissan 300zx) and I turned it off and let it sit over night and checked the oil today and the dipstick was not seated all the way. Before I start it back up should I get an oil pressure tester and check the sending unit too?
