Oil leak out of top of dipstick pipe - 2.0tdi

[Bramley]

Hey Guys,

noticed this a while ago but didnt do anything about it.

I get an oil leak right out the top of the dipstick pipe, the handle is always covered in oil.

What can be the problem and how do I fix it?

New O ring seal?

 

[LEE69]

To much crankcase pressure? Check the breather pipes for kinks

New O ring seal?

Im not mechanical at all, I assume thats the seal at the top of the pipe?

Yes, there should be an 'O' ring on the yellow plastic dipstick end. It is a black ring, and it goes into the pipe when you replace the dipstick. If missing it should be replaced. If this is not the issue, do then check the crankcase breather pipe. Also, make sure that the engine oil has not been overfilled, and is not over the max mark.
