Got a dribble of oil from the forcewinder onto the exhaust , any idea what I need to do to stop it? Is there too much oil in the tank , it looks high when hot , but not excessively

Thanks topgum...... I take it my setup is exactly the wrong one to have , I've had it for 7-8000 miles with no problem till recently....... Just a bit confused , only just got back from not using for a year.....

:maz: what needs to be done?......apart from a disgusting amount of cleaning.......and a visit up to you.....
