Message	Has anyone ever experienced the oil dip-stick being pushed up out of the holder? I smelled some burning oil today under the hood and saw a minor amount of oil splattered on the dipstick side of the engine. Also noted the dip stick out a couple inches or so from its sleeve. I put it back in after checking the level and cleaning off the splattered oil. I gave the underside a visual, and when I was certain there was no drastic leak I drove the car several miles, rechecked it and no oil anywhere, level fine, pressure fine, temp fine, dipstick in place. Can that happen when you get on the accelerator hard?? "A smile relieves, the heart that grieves" Glimmer Twins c1981
