oil leak ??

ive noticed that when ever i drive my car hard that the dip stick gets pushed up and oil comes out so i tried putting a piece of hose around the dip stick and tupe to keep it down and now under hard driving the car smokes like its burning oil. so i removed the hose and the smoking stopped but now the oil still comes out the dip stick tube. anybody else have this problem or no how to fix it?

also the car is single turbo if that matters

You are not getting adequate crankcase ventilation. When you went single, did you add a nipple to the turbo intake and reconnect the line from the filler neck (normally runs from filler neck to primary turbo inlet)?

How does that have anything to do with the OP's problem? It doesn't.

Off topic, but you could throw a lit cigarette into a puddle of oil and the cigarette will go out, no fire hazard there.

I've never heard of anything like you have discribed above, hopefully rynberg's suggestion is your problem. Sounds like an easy fix.

the 2 nipples coming off of the oil fill tube? 1 has a cap on it and the other runs into the upper intake manifold! should i remove the cap and run a hose to the turbo?

On the inlet side! The idea is to have a vacuum source always pulling on the crankcase.
