Dipstick oil spray/leak/ooze/whatever

[tweety]

I think oil is spraying, leaking, oozing or something..... Out of the dipstick neck.

I've heard it's a problem with a 1500 midget '79.

Any suggestions?

Vacumn needed to create negative pressuse in the crankcase?

I just went through this. Check out this thread..

Crank-case ventilation is probably the answer....

I'd make sure you have the crankcase vent set up right like Jim said. It did wonders for me, then if you still have issues go after them, otherwise you're chasing symptoms.

Yep, just had this problem when the Weber conversion went on. The crankcase not properly being pressurized will cause this. Follow the link Ed has attached above or if you have further trouble let me know and I can help you through how I resolved it.

Keep in mind 1500's should have a closed system. Make sure you have a non-vented oil cap.
