Every year I lose about an inch of oil ( about half a cup or so) from the bottle. *

pk - every year or just last year?

In your last post - it sounded like just last year.

Your explanation of what happened sounds plausible. It doesn't sound like you have a problem, and what little problem you may have had has resolved itself. I don't think I would risk creating a problem with a pressure test. I would just continue the routine maintenance of changing the lube and be glad there is no water in it, or hunks of metal.
