how do u check the oil level on the 919 blade engine then also are there know for oil leaks because mine got one and i dont now where it coming from

there is a sight glass, look at the bottom of the clutch cover. it is awkward to check the level, i use a torch and look through one of the suspension holes in the side panel.
not sure about likely places for leaks. best thing is to give it a good clean and then see if you can see where its coming from

Fill to the top of the sight glass, then overfill by 200mm, get to much in and the clutch will slip.

Not known for leaks, its a honda

Or possibly 200ml overfill it 200mm and it'll be coming out the filler hole

correct..

you can get a decent flexible inspection mirror from halofords that makes this easy - a torch to then shine onto the mirror surface makes it even better
