dipstick

Sooo,on the way home tonight I hammered on the ol' girl pretty hard. I backed in the driveway and smelled and saw a bunch of oil smoke.My first thought my recently modded ebpv sprung a leak.Opened the hood and saw oil dripping down the dipstick. Seems as though there is a rubber grommet inside the top of the dipstick. Make that there was a grommet in there. Anyone know of a fix? I wonder how high my oil pressure got in order to blow that grommet out?

The grommet doesnt blow out, more certanly you loose it in some ocasion, till I have read there is not a part for replacement, you need to fab one. And agree you have to look at your CCV.

Ahhh good point with the ccv being plugged. I've got the ccv mod done and it runs all the way to the back under the truck. I wonder if it got plugged with snow and ice? Good call men. Reps sent.
