It "could" be dangerous yes, chances are you'll get away with it but its not something that should be ignored. TBH, having owned RST's and Ren 5's I'm suprised your not used to the smells of burning oil

Its probably easier to get under and shine a torch up the back of the block to look for any oil weeps/leaks than climb over the top
