Mooney M20P pilot lost power and asked approach control to guide him to the nearest airport to make an emergency forced landing. His vision was limited during landing due the windshield covered with engine oil and he ran off the end of the runway. The aircraft sustained damage to the propeller and the nosewheel collapsed.

Narrative:
I was on an IFR flight plan from gri to 04Y. Descending from 9000 ft en route into 04Y, the engine started to vibrate. I informed far approach about engine failure. They vectored me to wahpeton, nd, airport. With some small amount of engine power, I arrived over the airport around 4000 ft. I then circled down to land, but had excess airspeed, bounced on landing and after final touchdown ran out of runway. Stopped in overrun area with nosewheel collapsed and propeller strike. After landing, a crack in the engine case was found. The windshield was covered with oil which was also a factor.
