Question on checking oil
Dumb question but when checking the oil when the car has sat overnight, should it still read at the top of the XXXX ? Currently mine is at 1X.
I always checked it after it warmed up but have been now looking when its cold as well.
Thanks,

Oil on the S should be checked, according to the owners manual, a few minutes after the engine has been shut off. I usually wait 5 min or so.
It's also important to pull the dipstick out during this time, or you'll get two different readings on each side of the stick.

I've been looking at older threads where others say they lose a bit of oil over an oil change but I don't remember that being this case before.
Maybe its time to get a leakdown test grrr....

I asked about a compression and leakdown test and he indicated that the compression more than likely doesn't apply in my case and the leakdown test wont necessarily guarantee where the problem is.
Assuming oil loss continues which I'm 100% sure it will, they will perform the test but in the meantime if I didn't want to wait that long, about how long does it take to perform one of these tests. Has anyone here done one and if so how accurate are they ?
Thanks,
