Oil keeps coming out from dipstick
Oil keeps coming out from dipstick
Has anyone had this issue? So when I pull the dipstick out it comes out pretty easily I’m not sure if it’s just a bad dipstick or if it’s another problem, anyone else have the issue and figured out the root of it? Thank tou
Not clear from your post what your problem really is - does the dipstick just fit loose in the tube, or does oil come out of the dipstick tube when the car is running as the post subject implies?
+1 for more clarification.
If you mean you can see oil seeping from the dipstick after a hard drive perhaps you've got blow-by and excess crankcase pressure that isn't being vented appropriately?

It's not a good idea to remove the dipstick when the engine is running.
To get accurate oil level readings that you can compare over time, the best way to check oil level is with the car parked on a level surface and the engine off and cold. If you want to check it when when the engine is hot, at least shut off the engine for about 10 minutes to let all the oil drain back to the oil pan before you check the dipstick.
