And the smoke is bluish? Sounds like it is over filled. Unless you meant to say, "oil between marks" which is the way the sticks are marked. My stick has a rubber thingy at the top which compresses slightly forming a seal into the sleeve. Could this have moved upwards or compressed with age? Maybe this plus filling to the top line is causing an overfill situation. YMMV

it might be a good time for a compression check, also spark plug inspection
