Oil filling up problem

When I got my CBR250R two years ago, the oil level started to fill up for some strange reason. I took it to the dealership where I bought it who told me it was because I put too much oil on the chain after washing and that crept into the oil.

14 months later, the same problem arose and the dealership said that I had over filled the oil level - I never have and still haven't ever put oil in it. We agreed to disagree and I had to pay to get it repaired.

Now, after leaving my bike unused for some time, the oil level which was going down, is now over the full mark!

Any ideas? Petrol or break fluid seeping into the oil?

Cant be chain lube or BRAKE fluid.

If the oil is milky its water or coolant.
You'll never have to add oil unless you've stuffed up an oil change and ran it when low.
Has the bike ever been dropped?

If you are checking the level correctly as per the owners manual and the DIY oil change thread (start up, shut off, wait 2 mins check when bike is level) -

Go to a different dealer.
