Notes/Comments:
There was quite a bit of oil on the ground under the generator, unlike
anything I have seen in the last two weeks. The oil was also low and
so I added a quart. It was getting dark at the time of this discovery
so I could not investigate further. I definitely recommend that the
next crew look into this.
