would not worry too much, a twin will produce slightly less than a single, and it was not until I got on track at Spa that I ever saw any moisture appear, plus if you have had a small amount over that sort of period it may of evaporated. If it filled regular it might mean trouble.

Stop driving like a pussy and cane it more, especially on track where you have the centrfugile forces required. (hard cornering is the tick) LOL

Sounds like u have a healthy motor and turbos then. May be :)

They usually fill them if things are tired. Or as Gary says, when they are being caned a lot...
