Checked my oil today before I took it to work tomorrow. Out of curiosity i decided to smell the cloth I used to wipe it. It smells faintly of unburnt fuel :/

Got a clean rag and tried again. same result.

What could it mean? Are my rings already fucked? if there an issue with the seal? there does seem to be a lot of engine noise/piston slap almost. sounds like tappets. mainly from the left side of the motor (when facing it front on)

Will give MRT a call tomorrow as she is due for a service however this has me worried ..

Call a real workshop mate, and get them to check it out..



JOKES!

Something like that, id get in contact with them asap. Would hate for the motor to let go, and they refuse to fix it.

Get it checked Asap, it might be washing the oil from the bores.
