well its streaky down the stick but possibly, should this matter or will it just burn off ?

You are wiping the dipstick off before checking the level aren't you??
If you are and the level is high - check your coolant................

Oil must not be above the max mark... search 'diesel runaway' on YouTube
Before you start taking things apart, make sure the breather is clear.

yes both clear not lost any water, i reckon its just i put too much in
can any of you tell me, ever since i put 200 in, when i have been driving and then stop at some lights, after 20 seconds on idle, its coughs as it revs again ? like coughs then fast revs ?... i am running part engine oil and petrol if that helps ? could it be over heating ? cheers
