Thanks for the replies guys. I use an old washing up bowl to catch the oil but the force behind the jet of oil caught me out for a second or two before I picked it up. Then as the jet became a dribble it was running onto to sump guard and exhaust pipe and dripping everywhere other than in the bowl. There's gotta be a better way. Pleiades' pipe idea sounds like a good one.
