Engine Oil Dipstick

[r33skyhigh]

Well sometimes when i drive my car hard and get to high revs my oil dipstick desides to pop out and blow oil everywhere in my engine bay. has anyone made up a little clip for it or has tied the dipstick down to anything?

Thanks Paul

means you have blow by. try renewing the o ring on the top of the dip stick [i think R33's have one, but I haven't looked] will make it a snugger fit.

simple solution I used - hose clamp a key ring to the dip stick tube, thread another key ring through the dip stick handle, and put a small spring between the two. to check the oil just unclip one end of the spring.

but as per above....it is a symptom of a bigger problem. you should organise for a compression test on the motor, and probably turn the boost down if possible.

Try putting the dipstick in upsidedown, see if it still pops out
