The top of the air filter comes off with the long tube (leading to the intake) attached, so you have to loosen the clamp at the end of the long tube and then undo the clips holding down the lid. Then the filter lifts out (can be messy) and you can check the oil level in there...and probably see the level of nastiness in that oil.
