need some advice, please.

usually, when the sp6 is cold, oil runs down and the oilsump tank is near to empty.

since some weeks my tank is half filled, same after driving or just undriven and cold.

what could i do ?

cold oil shows oil above the max. on the stick. this is why i'm surprised as last year it showed a little bit at the end of the stick when cold.
