What causes oil to blow out the dipstick on a 5.7 lt1 engine?

A bad PCV valve can cause excessive oil leakage and consumption. A PCV valve helps relieve pressure in the crankcase. If the PCV valve malfunctions, crankcase pressures can increase, forcing oil through seals and gaskets. check the vacuum hoses to the pcv and the other vacuum lines also. it can be numerous things wrong! good answer also a over filled crankcase, a bad oring on dipstic, also worn pistons and or rings can cause blowby where your compession gets by the piston and rings and pressurizes the crank case causing the oil to escape the easiest way it can.make sure you have good vaccum pull at pcv valve a cloggeg hose or fitting will cause crankcase pressure


What is the symptoms of a bad PCV valve?

Generally speaking the symptom of a bad PCV valve is a buildup of pressure inside the crankcase. If it is bad enough it can cause the engine oil to come out through the dip stick tube. If you pull the dipstick out and hear a release of pressure that is probably an indication of a bad PCV valve. The common way to check the PCV valve is to take it out and shake it. If it has a rattle then it is supposed to be good, no rattle it is assumed to be plugged up and no longer working. I am not certain if that is still a valid check.
