Possibly too much oil or bad windage. Maybe the crank is whipping it up and pushing it out the tube.

I changed oil and made sure level was correct. As far as the crank.....It's been running fine for several years.

motor will can still have good cranking compression and still have enough blowby to push dipstick out , best bet is to run a leakdown and go from there , on my 598 my ring gap is a little loose and i get a little dipstick pressure / blowby / but its better loose than sticking a piston . rob
