I have missed something here!  I understand that Finn is draining oil from the engine oil sump because the volume of oil in the sump is increasing over time?  If two cycle oil is mixed with the fuel it should burn, if it is injected into the rotary housing it should also be burnt.  How is the Two Cycle Oil getting into the engine oil sump?

As I understand it, the pre-mix oil gets past the side seals, and gets scavenged back to the sump.  I suppose a certain amount of fuel must do that too, though it would evaporate.
