Title: Oil spray from dipstick top
Post by: Tezmax on 31 October 2016, 15:57

hi all,

Emptied my catch can today and found slight over spray of oil which appeared to come from the dipstick top which was 10mm form the home position. Is this cause for concern as I would not of left the dip stick sticking out  after last checking my oil. (catch can was full and should of been emptied earlier)

Thanks in advance.

Pressurising the crank case.
Take it for a drive and see if it pos the dipstick.
Never actually heard of the dip stick popping out unless the crankcase has too much ressure. Which would make me look at the breather behind the oil filter. Maybe all clogged up in there
