to much oil....
ok so i notice i have an oil leak on my oil cooler line from back of engine to oil cooler. where the soft line meets the hardline
after discovering this i wanted to check my oil levels. i had an n/a dip stick on there.
k let me start by explaning this. the dip stick looks like this EXXXXXXXF
empty to full roughly that distance.
my dip stick red the length of 2 of those "scales" it was double it. EXXXXXXXFXXXXXXXX
i put a tii dip stick in and it read EXXXXXXXFXXXX so one and a half
idk how some one could have fucked up on this. last time i got my oil changed they said they were having a problem with a leak. the tii oil filler has a bend in it and at the join it was leaking. apparently they just "winged" it when filling it up
how bad is this on the engine... its a rebuilt engine that has about 4500 miles on it.

A leak at that point means the line is currently in a failure. Might pop tomorrow, might last a year.
Head over to the local hydraulic shop and have them make up a new line.
