Oil level now risen quite high:crazy:

There are basically four reasons for the oil level in the sump to apparently increase:

1. Some gremlins have got at it while you were asleep one night and made the sump smaller.
2. The pixies arrived after midnight and put way too much oil in the sump for you. I bet they didn't even change the oil filter though.
3. Diesel fuel getting into the sump oil, in which case you could end up with a runaway on your hands.
4. Water in with the oil, depending on how much and how long it's been in there it might not have started making the "mayonaise" yet.

1 and 2 above are in reality highly unlikely unless you're smoking some really wierd stuff.
In case 3 or 4, well you need to get that engine stripped down and the faults corrected ASAP.
Just let us all know which roads you might be driving on so that we can avoid the oil slicks.
