better get out your tool box, a few more weeks and you'll be installing a new engine  :wacko:

He's got to come get it 1st. Won't be long now ..... In this order. High oil level results in high oil pressure which leads to blowing out seals at crank or cooler. Maybe even the case plugs behind the flywheel. All of a sudden the green light goes on as a result of no oil pressure. Hence you now need my motor REAL BAD.

Nobody but me puts a wrench on my car. Some people I don't even open the engine lid to look inside.

I beg to differ. Oil level is unrelated to oil pressure. Oil pressure is regulated by the spring and piston arrangement in the case. The crankcase is simply a reservoir to pump oil from. It can be as high as you like as long as it doesn't hit moving parts. Once it does it becomes a low oil pressure problem. Crankcase pressure is regulated by blowby and venting. I think it's time for a leakdown test. Oil level is clearly not the problem here.
