Oil Overfill - Plum of Smoke??

[basford]

Hi, all.  Back again.

Put about half litre of oil in my crossflow which has minor oil leak, and now reads max on drip stick..

I was out of spin and got a nice plum of blue smoke from exhurst when pulling between 6.5-7k revs.

Never happen before putting oil in... have I over filled or should I be worried.

Engine seems to run fine otherwise....

Just this nice plum of smoke if I push it to much.

oh, 1300 crossflow,

Thanks for the help

Probably has been over filled slightly. I wouldn't worry about it too much, X/Flow's are very good a finding the oil level that they are happy with.

Yep normally through every seal on the engine

Oi... That's harsh!

But fair...

That said mine was oil tight when it departed. The gearbox on the other hand....
