I am going to wait and see if oil level drops over time. Not sure what else to do.


Old caked on oil can move down when the engine is hot. Maybe look like new. Did you get their inspection back in writing? May help in the future if they are willing to write down that you brought it in for an issue. I mentioned dye in the past and you said you may use it. If you put the dye in your oil and it shows up, it is not residual. Do the dye. Take a picture.
