I would be quite concerned about that. I was asked to help top up a 44 reservoir recently.
A small quantity of oil was visible (just) in the sight glass. Dipping the reservoir revealed that it was virtually empty. This issue is widely known, Eurocopter put paint across the lower part of the reservoir sight glass on the 365's to prevent people being fooled by a small quantity of oil being trapped in the sight glass.
