Oil Leak

got oil leaking out of the top of the engine. It looks like its coming out of the oil cap and the dipstick. What do I need to do to get this fixed.

RE: Oil Leak

The seals might just need to be replaced or vent box or vent system is clogged causing excess pressure making it leak.

RE: Oil Leak

Had a similar issue with a good friends 960. We cleaned the system, replaced the oil cap and dipstick seals, and is has been good to go.
