Default oil under the hood...and elsewhere

86 744ti

i found out why there was smoke coming from under my hood. my oil dipstick has been blowing out and letting oil mist come up from my engine. this only happened on the neon i used to own. now, my question is...

could the problem be as simple as a worn o-ring on the dipstick, or something like too much crankcase presssure from a clogged ventilator filter?

You should check the Vent box and all the lines for cloggage.

It could also be a worn o-ring.
