Hi Grumpy,

Thanks for that, I was estimating a litre it may have been only 1/2. Yesterday I decided to pull the air filter housing off and cleaned it out. I also replaced the Air Filter. I started it up last night and no smoke, will try again later on today and see if it blows any smoke. It may have pumped oil back up the air filter and housing. Will keep you informed. Thanks
