Engine stalls

Noticed something today, when I pull out the oil dipstick of my ERST while the engine is running, it wants to stall. As soon as I put the dipstick back she runs normal again. What does that mean? Worn engine?

there are no trouble at all under driving conditions.
I also noticed there is an oil leak through the dizzy. I've heard this is a common problem on CVH engines, is that true?

nothing at all to worry about because they all do it. the engines need to be airtight and any break in the seal will result in,rough idling,stalling and non starting
