As part of the general going over I did the usual fluid level checks.
Coolant/brake fluid all spot on, jowever the Oil level was ABOVE maximum..
This is a sign that the WVO is getting past the piston rings- and collecting in the sump.
The car is still running well, no obvious running issues and no MPG drop
Obviously this is not ideal! I took the most sensible path possible, based on the fact that it is a supercheap beater -
I dropped some oil out the sump and topped it up to max with fresh oil.
Over the last 4000miles it appeared to be approx 500ml- will keep an eye on it.
