Could just be where it was runnign rich, and you were getting bore wash. Fuel could have run past the rings into the oil...

how do you know its overfuelling now?

I'd drop the oil, put new in and then get it on an exhaust gas tester

It will smell a bit dude - due to the fact it was over-fuelling when it was running - will be fine to get running...

But do change it when you want to start using it proper! ;)
