Default dammit, im lost.

okay so i just got my old 88 starion back and it leaks oil everywhere from the dipstick. it seems like theres so much pressure in the block that it just pushes the diptstick out and starts spraying oil. i dont really know what it is but most people i ask pount towards the pvc valve, now i hate to say it but i dont even know where the damn thing is on this engine. if anyone knows what could be wrong let me know.

If the dipstick popped out, you might want to also do a compression check. A blown set of rings can cause massive crankcase pressurization and is often known to pop the dipstick out when it happens.

Check your PCV valve and do a compression and leakdown test on the car. Could be your ring are done too... Hopefully its nothing too big
