Default oil blow back through dipstick
I have a 1992 jeep cherokee laredo 6 cylinder. Oil is blowing out of the dipstick, it it not milky and the crank case vent tube seems to be clear. Any suggestions?

If that doesn't work, run a compression check.

If the front 1/2 inch tube is free to the air-box, it shouldn't be blowing out the dipstick.
