Has it run extremely low on oil at any point?

yeah im slowing coming around to this idea, the oil looks in good nick but many moons ago i did crack the sump and leaked an awful lot of oil, could of resulted in premature wear... crankcase seems to have positive pressure as well
clarkey1984 also suggested this early, i think you guys might be right
