anybody ever had a bad oil leak from the dip stick? i'm not exactly sure whare the oil is coming from underneath my car. it's dry on the back of the motor, so i know it's not an intake, i replaced the valve cover gasket. there's oil all over my starter, back 2 plugs and wires, header, and down my y-pipe. can anybody help.

I had the exact same thing sounds like ur having. After I did a cam swap it happened. I had moved the dipstick tube for some reason and forgotten the bold that holds it in, check and see if that is loose, I believe I had to remove the starter to get to that bolt, let me know if thats it.

Good idea, now that you mention it, it was when I pulled my headers off that I pulled it out not when i changed cams. Shouldn't be a problem for ya, let's hope thats it atleast and not something worse.
