Engine oil level? Real simple but sometimes overlooked.

Could be worth putting a spring on the dipstick to keep it in place?
Wasn't blowing any smoke or showing any signs of hesitation while I was behind you. I'd be inclined to check or replace the PCV.

Does it sound normal when initially starting up? ie; if it has a torched piston it will noticably miss a beat when cranking over prior to startup.
Secondly, when idling remove the oil cap and observe the amount of gas escaping. Not necessarily the pressure (as it'll go elsewhere when you block it off) but the volume of gas. If it's like an exhaust pipe you have a blown out piston (which is quite common)
