I just had this problem about 2 weeks ago. Oil was everywhere. I bought a brand new dipstick and went out for a beating and it did the same dam thing. Oil was everywhere. I ended up putting a tiny 1/4" hose clamp around the dipstick tube with a wire tucked into the clamp. Then i wrapped the other end of the wire around the dipstick handle. It AIN'T coming out now!!! Just don't wrap it around handle too many times so that it becomes a job to check the oil.

this happen to me once, i tweaked my boost up to 15 psi and went for a spin, like yours, in 2nd gear, i started smelling smoke and when i went back to my house, opended up the hood and saw that my dipstick also popped out. all i did was tweaked my boost down to 12 psi and it didn't happen ever again, so i can just be that ur boostin too much.. but i'm new to dsm so i wouldn't really know.

Why must people argue about such a simple and common problem and insist on finding ghetto fixes when a cheap correct fix is available?

You do realize you are not currently on the S2000 board, right? :p

Maybe try turning your boost off? I think that's what chris is getting at... ;)

Hey this is in the tech forum.

But we've decided its not a tech question since its been covered so many times and the solution is so simple (and has been stated 10 times over).
