Default oil blow back through dipstick
I have a 1992 jeep cherokee laredo 6 cylinder. Oil is blowing out of the dipstick, it it not milky and the crank case vent tube seems to be clear. Any suggestions?

Replace the CCV elbow at the back of the valve cover.

If that doesn't work, run a compression check.

If the front 1/2 inch tube is free to the air-box, it shouldn't be blowing out the dipstick.

It might if he's got a cracked piston or blown rings.
