m38 oil dipstick

[baios]

hi here is a photo from my oil dipstick.

the problem is that it doesnt close very good and little some oil is coming from beside... is the correct oil dipstick or do u think it is worn???

It is very rare for that cap to leak simply because it has a bad seal. More likely you have excessive crankcase pressures. This can be caused by a bad PCV Valve, leaving the fording valves closed, or severe piston ring wear allowing excessive blowby .

is the fording valve in the right direction?

Yes, if the valve is installed in the correct position and the handle installation is indexed correctly.

Is the valve clean and clear inside? Don't forget the other valve too.
