Oil blowing out of my dipstick tube?
I just installed a Procharger on my truck and now oil is blowing out of my dipstick tube. PCV is pretty new and the engine only has about 4K on it.

Well you may be right. I've been struggling with oil leaks ever since I put the motor in. The problem for me is that I only play with my truck once in a while and I had the motor built over 2 years ago and have not even put over 4K miles on it. I dropped alot of dough to have it built right. I will say that I only drove it with the SC on for about 8 miles and didn't even get a chance to lay into it.

I had the same thing happen to me when I first installed my procharger. Make sure you connected the line from the passenger side valve cover to the inlet of the blower. If this is not done it will pressurize the crankcase and blow out your dipstick.

The connections are correct. Do you think a bad PCV could be the problem? It's not actually blowing the dipstick out it's blowing oil on the bottom where it meets the block and on the extension piece on top.
