70 van oil leak

Sep 27, 2003 1 Replies

Read somewhere about oil coming out of the dipstick and spraying all over the motor. Any truth to this. I'm dripping oil but there is nary a leak to be found. It's nothing critical. More of an annoyance.


Well, I've got a '70 with a nice coat of oil all over the engine compartment. In my case, I know the oil filler neck has a crack, but that may not explain ALL the oil...Unfortunately a PO swapped the oil bath air filter for a paper one which likes to soak up the spray!
