Why is oil blowing out of the dip stick?
So if the oil dip stick is not secure the pressure of the oil in the engine (when the engine is running of course), will force the oil out of any low pressure area, in this case the dip stick tube. If all else fails, check the bottom of intake manifold for a hole burned through it. I had a oil blowing 350 and that was my problem.
