What`s often forgotten - and is a cheap check - before thinking about worn
valve guides, seals, or piston rings etc, is that excessive crankcase
pressure will cause oil to be forced past the pistons and or valve guides.
So check the breather system - all of it.

I was told by the salesman that there was no need to check the oil level as
the warning light on the dash would tell me.
There`s nothing clever in the model I have - its just a low pressure
warning light,
I remember when I was learning to drive around 33 years ago that If that
light came on there were just a few seconds before the engine "blew up" so
get over to the verge immediately and dip the clutch - how many younger
people now never check oil levels? Its a bit worrying
