Under the engine lid (in the back) you may find the oil cap. It is located to the far upper right side as you look in the engine bay. Take that cap off and check the oil level with the oil dip stick located in the neck. The oil can only be checked when on level ground with the engine warm and at operating temp (180 degrees or so). The oil level needs to lay between the two hash marks on the dip stick to be correct. The dash has an oil level gauge but they are not as trustworthy as checking the actual dip stick. If you overfill the oil expect lots of smoke and new leaks.
