I do not see any smoke out the exhaust. I do see a small drip on the transmission plug thought. No blow-by from the filler either. I thought I read somewhere that due to the splashing of the oil on the cyl. walls some oil is lost but can't find that info again. I think the advice here on the thread is good advice. For now I will just keep an eye on things but during the winter may pull the motor and remove the head to check things out.
