You have a leaking injector that is washing its way past the rings. I am assuming that you mean, "why does the oil smell like gas?" In addition to the above answer, if you have a mis-fire or rough running condition that fuel isn't being burned efficiently as well as a recent no-start condition. NO GAS IS SHOOTING OUT OF THE DIPSTICK!!!
replace the o rings ,make sure you lube them You have filled the oil pan full of gas DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE
why does oil come out of dipstick on a1996 12v commin
Only two things.If there is no oil showing on the dipstick, there is not enough oil in the engine.OrThe dipstick is not pushed all the way in place.
Anything before 1987.
Didn't notice what year your truck was, but if it has a 5.9L gas engine, there is a sheet metal guide for the dipstick spot welded to the inside of the oil pan. It may have come loose, allowing the dipstick to pass between the guide and the oil pan, resulting in binding and improper gauging of the oil level.
Pull the dipstick and see if the oil on it flares up quickly when you heat it with a match.
Engine oil capacity?
The dipstick is under the hood on the driver side, Do not follow the instruction from the person below. YOU WILL DESTROY YOUR ENGINE. There is no dipstick cuz they are 2 strokes. You mix the oil in the gas like a chainsaw!
hehehe... "dipstick"... teehee
check you oil level on the dipstick. add some or get an oil change.
This is not that uncommon. Some oil is so hot that it will start to smoke. The smoke can escape through this opening to the engine.
pressure in the sump caused by engine breather pipe being restricted or blocked is one cause for oil coming up through the dipstick hole
