Re: Steam from dip stick

also, im a douche, it could just be blown piston rings, run a compression check, and see if all the cylenders are even, and around 120-150psi. if they are all low, the combustion is blowing past the rings into the crank case, burning oil, and thats what the "steam" is blowing out the dipstick.
