It's a 1990 325i auto

The problem is solved when I remove and put back the dip stick and oil filler cap, so does this mean they are letting air in and need replaced Or is it something else??? Cheers[/list]

Check the breather hose between the rocker cover and the intake, that can split and cause issues.
