Excessive blow by. Put it back in, drive sedately. See if its still blowing out. Drive again, give it more throttle this time.

But 60% of the time, everytime it would be blow by.

blowby

spring on the dipstick to block

vent rocker cover to atmosphere

it will leak less

[Jonny Rochester]

blowby + boost + small or blocked breather

this happaned on one of my cars.

i wrap electrical tape around the top part of the dipstick (the black plastic that connects to the metal)

anyways it is tighter and does not come out with the pressure.

did you just read any of the replies above?

[wide s13]

yes i did lol
the thing is why would it be black/brown smoke which is normally cat or fuel?
then blue/smoke smoke- oil? (its not turbo) its n/a
and i was driving sedately and the responses above was to the oil dipstick coming out which its not doing
as with yesterdays post as the oil thing was last night and this smornings probs.
i didnt understand gillys fix thingo but I'm seeing him sunday so ill ask him kindly to show me lol

i fail to see the significance

a gbox swap snaps rings? or your already had snapped rings and didnt know it?

*edit you did a wet and dry comp test right?

[wide s13]
