[TR] TR3A oil level

Since the rebuild of my motor I have had an issue with oil blowing out of  
the vent tube.  While driving it is actually convenient to have perpetual  
rustproofing, but while parked in the gargage it drips on the floor.  When  I 
change the oil I have to put in more than is stated in the manual, as I  
interpreted, because of the oil cooler, and that may be so.  
I think I discussed this issue previously with the list, but now have a  
slightly different perspective.  I replaced the felt on the dipstick when I  
rebuilt and it is about 1/2" thick.  The old one was oily, dirty and  flat.  I 
removed the new felt and checked the oil and, of course, it shows  the oil as 
overfilled.  I am due to change again and am going to remove the  felt to check 
oil level upon filling, and then replace it to see where "full"  actually is.
