Subject:      Oil drip from dip stick,
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

So, van still has a drip from dip stick when van running.  We tried other dip sticks from vans that don’t drip, but they do when in my 2.3.  

So, how to fix the dip stick or better yet to reduce pressure in the motor. 

I was careful to use break in oil and moderate rpm’s when doing break in.  I even drained the break in oil and put in more for at least 600 miles of break in.  

Engine seems to be running great over all So, who has the dip stick solution?
