i see the when i check my oil the dip stick is out, just resting on the rubber part. Dont know why crankcase pressure is blowing it out, bad pcv? any ideas?
On a turbo car, proper functioning of the PCV system is even more important than in a NA car, due to the positive pressure in the intake during boost. A bad check valve, for instance, can cause crankcase pressurization, and blow out seals, not just the dipstick.
I have had 1st-hand experience with this problem on my wife's 1.8T Passat.
