Oil Dip Stick

[Enes]

I hate when the car gets a hot oil steam bath...

my oil dip stick keeps poping out... anyone know reasons why it would do that?

about the only reason i could see is if the crank case would be getting preasurized....

The rubber piece on the top of the dip stick gets hard after a while. Just get a new one from Mitsu. Either that or you can make a little hook to hold it it or squish the side of the tube some to hold it in better.

PCV valve?

Pinch the top of the tube a little, with a pliers.

Actually it is a new stick.. the previous one got "fixed"
pinching the top of the tube would make it out of round hence making it tight but out of round and maybe leaking all the time.

PCV valve is that the thing on top passenger side rear of the valve cover?

Yes, that is where the PCV valve is. It is easy to take it out. When you shake it, it should rattle easily. If it is sticky, it is bad. Some good cleaner will usually clean it out (MCCC, etc).

I have never had a squished dip stick leak either.

Zip tie it down.

i did a boost leak again, and i can hear oild bubles in the oil pan... that is no good...

any suggestions?

i am thinking of removing the oil return line and seeing if it stops bubling, that will isolate the turbo blown and point to something else.
