[modeleng] Re: Oil

Bede,

You have cited the only two methods that I use.

You can usually take it off at the cylinder end and move the ratchet 
round by hand and see a small amount come out to give you some confidence.

Don't forget, if the level goes up, you need to sort out the check valve :-)

Cheers

Peter
