It seems that every time I open the hood, I find that the oil dipstick has crept up abut 1 inch. I push it down each time, and find it up the next time I open the hood. I don't know that it is up far enough for water or dust to get into the tube, but it still bothers me to see that it is not down tight. When I have seen others open their hoods, I have seen other dipsticks that are in the same position. I am starting to think that this is a common problem, or occurance. Does anyone else have the same thing happen, or am I over reacting. I could just ignor it and hope it goes away, but I doubt that will happen.
Mine does this, too. Replace the o-ring if you want. Replace the PCV valve. But the real ANSWER is to wait until spring. Mine only seems to do it in winter.
