[rips318is]

hey guys/girls

my dip stick seems to be showing more oil than it should. the markings on the dip stick are totally covered in oil. more than it should be....
any ideas why this could be happening??

cheers

Not trying to check the oil with the car on a hill or whist running are you?

Don't want to alarm you unnecessarily but are you losing water from your coolant bottle as well? If you have a head gasket on it's way out the water can leak into the engine and raise the "oil" level on the dipstick.
