HELP!!! Oil shooting out of the dipstick tube!!! WTF??? Posted by IrieTom [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
I heard a clattering noise when I started the car this morning, so I popped the hood to check the vacuum lines etc... Checked oil and saw some smoke come out of the tube. The oil was a little low- I only added 4 qts the last time I changed it (1000 miles ago) and the level was near the min. line- so I poured some more in. The car spat it right back out!!!
There's signs that some oil had splattered out the dipstick recently-
What could cause this? Some kind of blocked oil passage in the block/head? I've driven a few miles this AM, should I dare to try driving home?- it's 50 miles from here.
I'm extremely concerned- The car has been running excellently since getting re-habbed at 192,000 miles (tranny rebuild, new seals, hoses, belts, harmonic balancer, clutch, suspension bushings, etc...) and has 196,000 now. It's an '86 SPG.
