Thanks for you're help everyone, when i took the gauze out the oil bowl was empty except for some almost solidified black oil in bottom the gauze was so crudded up with brown sticky stuff i had to soak it in brake cleaner for hours and keep blowing it out with an airline now its like new with new engine oil in, engine started and sounded so much better. MOT tomorrow
 
Not too bad, 1 tyre, a bit of welding on an outrigger, new brake shoes and 1 brake cylinder to replace, failed smoke test but today ive changed oil, oil filter, fuel filter drained sedimenter and she barely smokes now so hopefully will put the old girl back in this week and get a pass.
