Hey, thanks so much for the replies!

So, I read all your suggestions and went to look at the bike in the daylight. Guess what? There's not a drop of oil in that sucker---mystery solved. The previous owner said he'd just changed the oil a few days before I picked it up. Which leads to two bigger mysteries:

1. Okay, there was oil in it when I got the bike; so where did it go and why? Do I have a blown engine?
2. If the engine is blown, or seriously damaged, did the guy who sold it to me (someone I considered a friend) know it was like that? (And if he did, do I break his left or his right leg? Just kidding. Mostly.)

Man, please tell me this engine isn't ruined. How much would a new engine cost?
