Rb26 Oil Leak

[AzN]

Hey guys,

I was doing some spirited driving on Saturday night in my 300KW R33 GTR. I noticed in my driveway on Sunday morning a oil leak. Found oil around the oil filter however it is fully tight.. Dip stick was also sticking out a little bit. There's hardly any oil left on the dip stick. Oil pressure is fine though on the factory gauge and no weird sounds in the motor and did not notice any power loss.

Gonna take it to a mechanic to do compression and leak down test. Did some research and apparently, the dipstick only reads about 1L from the bottom of it to the "H" mark. Is this true? If so, prob means I still have at least 3.6L in the sump? Has this happened to anyone else before? Attached some pics.

Dipstick sticking out or blown out???

Oil filter might be ruptured. Take it off and have a look.

I would find and fix the oil leak first, then see how it runs, and only bother with compression and leak down tests if its making weird noises or down on power.

Dipstick out can be either;

1. Someone didnt push it in all the way

2. Perished rubber not tight enough to hold it in

3. Stuck PCV valve

4. Excessive blowby (and here's where the compression/leak down are useful)

Dipstick was sticking out.How much oil does the dipstick read from the end to "H"?
