My 96 powerstroke just started blowing oil out the oil dipstick, alot, what is happening? joshmuchow1@msn.com

 

Josh, first off, welcome to the forum. We're glad to have you.

It sounds like a blow by problem.

If you have oil blowing out the dipstick two things come to mind.

1. How much oil is in the motor?
If anything you should just have a slight haze blowing out of it, but no oil.
That is if you have alot of blow by.

2. The CCV (crank case vent) is clogged. Your CCV is on the drivers side valve cover. It's held on by two phillips screws and is connected to the intake tube. Pull that off and do your best to rinse it out with carb cleaner or of the like solvent. It doesn't come apart, so don't try. All you can do is rinse it the best you can.

Other than that, I'm sure the other guys will chime in and help out too. Good luck man.

 

I think you got it rubberduck. I think you should do ccv mod. Just turn ccv around and add piece 5/8 heater hose and run bottom of engine. You can look at T.J. webshots to see how he did it. hope this helps.

 

Hey thanks guys, i will try that, i just had two injectors replaced it it, and i thought maybe that had something to do with it, if you have ever heard of this, let me know. thanks, oh by the way there is alot of oil blowing out of dipstick

 

Rubberduck is one th right track. Oil level first then CCV clogged. YOu really shouldn't have any oil blowing out. Even if you had a bad blow by issue iwth normal oil levels it should be mostly oil vapor not liquid oil

 

Check your oil levels. To much oil perhaps????

Wondering if the injectors being replaced, maybe cut an o-ring which is allowing diesel into the oil which causing an over fill problem which is causing it to blow out the dipstick??

 

Excellent call Glide!! I was pondering the same thing. Is the oil foamy? Smell like diesel, real thin???

 

Very good gentlemen! I was at home last night and thought about the same thing, came back to post it up and Bkcowman had me beat.
