Dip Stick

Yesterday I was showing a buddy the truck, and to my surprise, there was oil on the inside of the hood, on the turbo cover and hoses, not alot but enought to be concerned. The reason for the oil was, that the dip stick had pushed up around 3 or 4 inches, so the oil blew up through the dip stick tube.

I will continue to check regularly to make sure dip stick isn't defective and works it's way out again.

Interesting. Hope your buddy didn't take advantage of the mishap. Heaven forbid he's a Dodge or Cheby guy. That experience would be all over those forums by now.

my dad had an older ford truck that everytime you got on the throttle real hard it would push the dipstick up an out like that but it never spit oil out of it. Try going out and getting on it for a little bit and see it that makes it do it then at least you have a way of duplicating it for the ford tech. Just an idea....

Yeah, I was suspecting it could be that also. Will try that soon. Thanks.

I kicked it in the *** today and checked it afterward, the dip stick stayed in place and there was no oil spilled.

I love that damn truck.
