Mesorat%20hashas for Menachot 51:8

מנחה מאי עבידתה אמר רב פפא מנחת נסכים ס"ד הואיל ובהדי זבח קא אתיא כגופיה דזיבחא דמיא קמ"ל

And so it was taught [in the following Baraitha]: R'Joshua says, If of any animal-offering mentioned in the Torah there remained an olive's bulk of the flesh or an olive's bulk of the fat, [the priest] may sprinkle the blood; if there remained a half-olive's bulk of the flesh and a half-olive's bulk of the fat, he may not sprinkle the blood. In the case of a burnt-offering, however, even if there remained a half-olive's bulk of the flesh and a half-olive's bulk of the fat, he may sprinkle the blood, since i is wholly burnt.
