Blowby, common on any DSM. Plus the o-ring on your dipstick is dry and shot. You can get a new dipstick from Brookdale Mitsu for a few sheckels.

what about the pcv valve?

Re: wtf just happened??
 

Nope not your problem, crimp the rod where the dipstick goes into a little bit so its tighter and it will solver your problem. This is very common on DSMs. Don't worry.

The dipstick has always popped up even after it was crimped, but today it blew up and shot oil everywhere.

Hapens on my car a lot. It's just a pain when you have to check your oil, but i would find some way to "Fix" it in there so it's hard to get out, but not impossible. I may be picking up new dipstick soon.

Just a warning if you crimo the top of the dipstick it will hold the dipstick great at first but after using the dipstick alot it will chew into the rubber and then you be in my boad were i get blowby even with the stick in

Re: wtf just happened??
 

Spend the insane amount of $15 to get a new dipstick. The rubber seal hardens over time.

Re: wtf just happened??
 

Yeah. Get the new dipstick. I crimped mine. It made it worse. I made it kind of an oval and it just went out the sides.

Re: wtf just happened??
 

Agreed, new dipstick.

Zip ties. Nuff said.

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.

Re: wtf just happened??
 

weld dipstick to tube. only solution.

Re: wtf just happened??
 

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?

Re: wtf just happened??
 

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

Re: wtf just happened??
 

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

Hey this is in the tech forum.

Re: wtf just happened??
 

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).
