Re: Air blowing out of oil cap filler hole while eng. running

air blowing out of the oil fill hole with the cap off is normal, it is caused by windage and the countless moving parts inside the engine causing air flow. if when the engine is running with the oil cap on, the crankcase pressure is enought to unseat the oil dipstick, then you have a problem.
