[FC] What is the cause of oil coming out of the dip stick

[Bryan Blackwell]

Usually it's too much blow by pressurizing the crankcase.  The quick 
fix is to remove the oil pan and cut the dipstick tube off flush with 
the inside of the case, which moves the bottom of the tube above the 
oil level when running.  It's on my to-do list as well.
