Subject:Oil dipstick pushed out of the tube
From:Allan Streib

I've noticed that every time I check my oil, the dipstick has been
pushed out about half an inch or so from the fully-seated position.  No
evidence of any oil actually being pushed out though.

My oil level is about midway between "add" and "full" marks.

I'm guessing this indicates pressure in the case, do I have a clogged
case vent somewhere?  Not familiar with how the WBX case venting works.
Or is the dipstick just loose?
