oil topped its self up but how? - karl1989 - 25-11-2012
hi guys. recently i checked my oil and it was on minimum so topped it up a litre from what i had in boot. yesterday i checked it and it was just above minimum. went for a drive then checked it this morning and it was just above maximum. i have checked it 3 times to make sure. why is this as ive never known of it.

It's just the oil draining down from other parts of the engine overnight.

Car parked on a slope?

Was it still hot when you topped the oil up?

Probably mixing with water or diesel....its f*cked.
But I'd go for being on an incline tbh...
