What would cause a Pontiac Firebird 400 that squirts oil out of the dipstick tube at over 2500 rpm The engine just passed the emissions test with ease and no oil burning is present?

I have been looking for the answer to the same question and what I have found out is.... A cracked ring.. or I was just told today that there is a bypass in the motor that can get clogged. I was told to drain the oil and refill with 3 qts. of oil and 2 qts of diesel fluid. then let run for 20 min. and change the oil. If it was clogged this should open it up. Does anyone have any comments or recommendations on this?

What would cause a Pontiac Firebird 400 that squirts oil out of the dipstick tube at over 2500 rpm The engine just passed the emissions test with ease and no oil burning is present.?
Most likely missing the lower dipstick tube. Its function is to direct the dipstick away from the rotating assembly and down into the oil. The tube is located in the oil pan and is pressed into the upper tube (the one visible on the outside of the engine). Do you have trouble pressing the dipstick in all the way? Does it feel like it is hanging up on something near the bottom? This could cause problems as the dipstick can get "chewed up" by the rotating crankshaft and connecting rods, possibly causing engine damage. The bad part is to replace the lower tube you must remove the oil pan which usually means pulling the engine.
