What causes oil to shoot up?
Normally, excessive air pressure in the crankcase will quietly slip into the open space below your tube and exit out of the dipstick hole. However, overfilling the oil sump can submerge an otherwise non-submerged tube, sealing it and forcing oil to crawl upward in order to relieve pressure.
Why is the oil on the wrong side of the Rings?
An engine with poor compression may be a simple fix, but it could also have major leaks in the rings, head gasket, or other places. The engine’s piston rings may be worn. A worn piston ring causes engine oil to slip past. This means that engine oil will be found on the wrong side of the rings.
