It looks like it was a simple overfill but I'm off down Gippsland on Saturday so I'll clock up my first decent trip. Hopefully the problem was a simple overfill..
Pulverized cat litter is great for doing a floor-level oil/water test...:angel:
Its always useful to know just how much volume there is between the Lo/Full marks. - how many litres per cm of dipstick. - Makes adding oil a precision exercise and not just a 'bung in a bit'. - Essential for a td-5 and some other engines...
To by-pass Murphy, wet the floor first, which fills up the concrete and makes is resistant to oil penetration. Then soak it up with the cat litter or whatever takes your fancy.
Co$ts a few shekels, but if the "floor" is the carport....then this will keep the evidence away from SWMBO.....:D
Seeing as you post good pics, here's a link to make it easier for you to enhance dark oily ones... and look after the Aged & Visually Impaired...:angel::angel: :p

The Photo Plus is the one you want. I've got Photo Plus 9 and Photoshop 6. Both are over-kill for what we need here, but are easy enough to use by anyone.

James,
Thanks for the advice, luckily its a sealed/painted garage floor, & the photo, believe it or not, was best of 6 !! For some weird reason the camera would not focus on the oil..
