Default May have a problem

I am getting a bit of smoke on first start up and think it is oil smoke but not 100% only started to notice this in the last few weeks, there is on sign of smoke when running ,checked the oil and it is a bit over filled ( Oil change 2 or 3000 miles ago) but I do not think that would be it.so what could it be :shrug: When Simon did the map Friday he thought it was all ok .

if its over-filled personally it needs sorting and could be exactly the reason............

you can potentially cause damage in this way as sure as running it low

If I remember rightly Jay in his lovely RB320 had a similar issue with a slight over fill. Think he took a little oil out and all was solved?
