i went up to my mates the other day and found out that i had low oil. it wasnt even showing up on the dip stick. i just checked again now and its needing more again. i dont think its leaking because i leave it sitting for ages and there aint any marks when i move it. not even little drops. it over heats a fair bit when am driving about town.

anyone got any ideas
