The car was servieced less than 700 miles ago but im going to whip the sump off to double check.
I only drive a 4 mile round trip to work and back every day then + what ever I do in the evenings!?
On closer inspection one of the pipes going to my oil catch can had completely kinked

so Ive rerouted the pipe work, would this of had any effect?
Since wiping the stick and and filler cap clean, Ive only had a very slight dusting of gunk!? no where near as bad as before
