Hi i have oil coming out of the dipstick tube under normal driving RPMs but not when at idle would this be crank case over pressure? i think i need a new dipstick where would be a good place to get one?
Thanks

My credo
Giving my truck more money than it deserves.
Is the oil coming out of the top or the bottom of the tube?

Top would imply that you have either a bad PCV or lots of blow-by.

Bottom would mean either your seal is bad or the tube is rusted through...

That said I would do like above and just change the PCV valve but might even venture and do a compression test to get a general idea on engine health
