dip stick pipe
my s2 has been loseing a bit oil now for a bit been trying to find out from where but today ive noticed the dip stick pipe had come out of the block it has been slack for a while tho do you think its just worked its way out with the vibration and hence causing me to use oil or do you think it could be back presure causing it

maybe worn piston rings? or maybe rich mixure and bore wash.
if engine consumes much oil it is maybe worn piston rings but then you will have smoking signals

no smoke when driving or giving the car a hard time and the dip stick pipe was right out of the block the engine is still quite a fresh rebuild only done 12k so i think its just to do with the pipe i hope anyway ?

if you have a baailys breather system them it wont run lump as it will no longer be an air leak as the bailys system breaths to atmos no the metering head, like wise with efi converted cars, mine looks like some ones used clear silon and gunned it in
doesnt make the cr lump though, and not loosing oil form it,
can you still buy new pipes?
