dipstick popping out - TDV8 3.6l

[djambalawa]

Hiya folks.. in the last couple of weeks the dip stick has popped out a couple of times.. spraying a bit of oil around the engine bay... I'm hoping the cause isn't some serious issue with the engine causing too much oil pressure or something.. thoughts? Just got back from holidays and my son reported it.. I'll run the IIDtool on it today also see if there's any faults.

Dipsticks popping out for a Maccas is an ongoing problem. Popping out for a coffee is much more desirable.[smilebigeye]

Typically caused by a blocked sump/engine breather.
