Oil bubbling out of dipstick
If the rings can’t push out (from the pressure of the combustion), the combustion gasses will “blow-by” the rings into the oil pan and out the oil filler or dip stick. You could have also caused it by using oil thicker than recommended in your manual, reducing lubrication on startup and in general. blowing oil out dipstick.

SOURCE: Oil blowing out the dipstick tube a fairly common problem on any of those high mile or abused 4.0liter engine either #1 your PCV ventilation tubes are plugged those are thos small black lines comming out of your valve cover or #2 your getting really bad blow by in your valves. 1 being easy to do and 2 not so easy!! The oil is definitely entraining air bubbles - not foaming as such. I do not see a strainer but could disconnect the pipe where it exits the oil reservoir and take a look there. Also I could change the oil filter but I doubt that air is entering at these points. The oil sump needs to be vented to allow air into the sump, otherwise, in time, the loss of oil would pull a vacuum. Air coming out of the oil fill tube – a lot of it! The venting of air happens all the time the compressor is running. It is when the oil fill cap is venting a lot of air that the compressor owner notices and wonders what is going on. If you have a lot of air coming out of the oil fill tube that is a strong indication that your air compressor piston seals are badly worn, and Bubbles on my transmission dipstick fluid level transmission issue - Answered by a verified Dodge Mechanic If the fluid is too high you'll need to get some out of the transmission which can be a chore. Otherwise, if the level is good, you'll need to have your transmission professionally serviced.

Bubbles float to the top and is a good thing. So your dipstick will have a few. Not an issue. Just make sure that your oil level is correct. The big issue is when the bubbles don't float up quick enough and get pumped through the engine. Air isn't a good engine lubricant. blowing oil out dipstick.

Why is oil blowing out my dipstick tube? I have built a few dozen engines of various types over the years and have done all my maintenance all my life but I seem to have a problem I can't figure out! 1977 CJ5 4.2L engine. The oil fill plug is normally vented to allow flow of air into and out of the sump as the oil level changes. You should not normally feel a flow of air coming out of the vent. If you are, that suggests strongly that your pump cylinder seals are worn to the point where they are allowing substantial air past as the pump cycles. The engine runs good and strong but when ever it is put under heavy acceleration, oil blows out of the dipstick tube. I wasn't worried about this too much until the engine oil got on the exhaust headers and caught fire! I got the fire out and the engine cranked right back up but now the TH350 transmission will not pull in drive.
Air bubbles on dipstick?? Does anyone out there routinely see any air bubbles on the engine oil dipstick when you check the oil level? It's not water, a recent oil analysis came back good, no water, coolant, or fuel. Using same oil as always. Adding a photo to show what it looks like

If oil is blowing or spilling out of your dipstick tube in any way this is a sign of a possibly serious engine issue. Take your vehicle to a competent mechanic as soon as possible. The oil dipstick is built into the oil filler cap. Unscrew the cap, pull the dipstick out, wipe it dry and reinsert it. Remove it again to read the oil level.

17 Sep 2015 1, a clogged PCV will force pressurized air through every available exit--if the issue is not fixed quickly, you will blow oil out of more things than just the dipstick

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 Yesterday when engine was hot, just to check the oil condition i bubbles common on dipstick when engine is hot. b/w engine oil was If the level is too much above the max permissible level then its wise to drain some off. There's only one problem - figuring out what the oil on the dipstick really means. Brown bubbles or a dried crusty-brown residue above the oil level line on the 12 Jul 2010 after about 3 minutes of idling at various rpm I saw oil bubbling there again. OK , I disconnected CCV return oil line from the dipstick tube, took clean after a few minutes starts coming some steam, like if you have oil cap off. 10 Jan 2017 When checking the dipstick, it is normal oil colored and when taking the radiator cap off to check for bubbles, it is normal coolant colored with Oil Blowing Out of Dipstick Tube.
