smoke out of dipstick tube Ok so here's my story. My low oil light came on the other day. I checked and it was a quart and a half low. Today I kept smelling something burning so when I got home I popped the hood and checked the oil level again. This time I noticed smoke coming out of the dipstick tube. Should I be concerned?
There are no engine codes or anything. I have been running 93 octane since I got it in March.
Thanks for the help!

PCV valve could be backed up......
Put the dipstick tube back in, remove the oil fill cap, start the engine, then get under the hood and rev the engine at the throttle cable......see if you can feel puffs of air coming out of the oil fill neck.........
Hope you don't .............
