your finger appears to be covered with NEAT 2T- i.e. not mixed with petrol. The mess on the floor appears to be normal petroil mix?

Where do you keep your 2T bottle?

that is a hell of a pool of oil for 48 hours....it does look like neat 2 stroke?? my oils in the glove box but thats dry. im going to check the petrol tap, if theres a leak from the tank would the petrol evaporate leaving just the two stroke??i couldnt see any obvious leaks above the base of the maghousing engine block, this mystery may need a Miss marple approach....
