Magic Oil
#1
I'm hoping for some advice on a conundrum I'm experiencing with my Speedy. It doesn't seem to be using any oil!

I changed the oil and filter just before the Curborough track day at the beginning of April and last Sunday went to the Scramble at Bicester Heritage. Some 3-400 miles cruising at 55-60 on the motorways and screaming around the Curborough track for a day. The oil level hasn't dropped. If anything it has increased!

No water has been used and there is no sign of water in the oil.

I know Paul Bonewell engines are totally oil tight but I didn't expect this kind of magic. My only thought is that perhaps the pump diaphram has developed a leak (it is a red type).

So two questions:
  • How to detect petrol in the oil?
  • Has anyone experienced thsi problem?

Any other thoughts?
