SOURCE: crankcase builds pressure

if your blowing smoke out the pipe then the oil rings are bad , thus the pressure from explosion in the cylinder is going into the crankcase, which would mean the pressure rings are going bad also.
so you have loss of power also?
you should get it repaired soon or you could blow a gasket also and then it could crack the head or block
hope this info is worth a fixya , and if you need more assistance then just ask me and I'll help

SOURCE: RENAULT LAGUNA 2.2DCI 2003 MODEL EXCESS CRANKCASE PRESSURE

This is quite a common problem,especially with the 2.2 dci engine,although as usual Renault wont admit the problem.The reason your engine throws the oil after a run and not when stationary is this problem is caused by the turbo pressurising the crankcase.You can rev the engine all day but when theres no load on it then the turbo is not working at full pressure and all is well.
The cure for the problem is to fit a new rocker cover which incorporates part of the inlet manifold.The breathing system on these engines is complicated and the rocker cover has to handle both inlet gases AND exhaust gases and although no one can explain why a new cover cures it,I suspect the plastic the cover is made of is not robust enough and either becomes porous or warped and this allows gases into the crankcase,pressurising it and focing oil out either through the dipstick or it blows out the blanking plug in the timing cover.
It is not a massive job to replace the rocker cover as long as the injectors come out easily.If they dont then youre in real trouble.Good luck,Duncan.

SOURCE: Oil leak passenger side 300 turbo sedan, some on

Add about 2.5-quarts of new engine oil to the engine.
Remove the passenger-side wheel, and support the car on jack-stands.
Start the engine and look for oil leak.
Chances are leaks are coming from failed oil-pan gasket or the drain-plug.
The head-cover gasket could be failing as well..

Why is oil coming out of dipstick holder?

If there is not too much oil in the engine, then the most likely cause of oil coming out of the dipstick tube is excessive pressure in the crankcase. This would indicate that there is an issue with the PCV valve or whatever other type of crankcase ventilation system the vehicle has. Check the system for clogs and clean/replace components as needed.

Mazda B2500TD 97model l have problem with oil

You have excessive engine breathing/pressure. When you did the overhaul did you replace the rings etc and deglaze the bores because excessive crankcase pressure is your problem and its forcing the oil down the breather pipe. Poor valve guide stem seals is another area.

High oil consumption after overhaul

Maybe pressure relief problem in the crankcase, too much oil, missing pieces, oil pump malfunction? Sounds serious.

Why is the motor oil come spilling out of the dip stick

There are a number of possible reasons ranging from overfilling with oil to a severely worn engine, but the most common cause is a blocked engine breather.

This needs servicing from time to time and when it's allowed to become blocked through a lack of maintenance it prevents excess crankcase pressure from escaping. The pressure still has to release somewhere and the dipstick is the most common route, as the gases escape through the narrow tube they inevitably push oil out as well.

If your engine hasn't had a major service then get that done first (it should include checking and cleaning/renewing the crankcase breather) and if the problem continues further diagnosis becomes far easier as you'll have eliminated any other causes which may be due to regular maintenance issues..

97 volvo 850 with a milky dipstick, looks like a head gasket is in my future, any special knowledge needed, I've done many but not on this car yet, it'll be my firs, I've learned about the head bolt...

your best bet is to buy a Haynes book on your car from Autozone for $20.00
It will tell you if you have stretch bolts or not in your engine.

Multiple oil leaks: Nissan sentra 1.6 gl 89 model

Sounds like the crankcase is being pressurised - possibly by excessive piston blowby.
Check operation of the PCV valve and associated hose connections.
If crankcase ventilation system is operating ok, the motor may require re-condition.

Still having oil coming out of distick

Whenever you have excessive pressure in the crankcase, it's usually a sign of severe engine wear. Typically piston rings that are no longer sealing well and combustion pressure is "blowing by" into the oil pan pushing oil and vapor out of the engine wherever it can. It's time to rebuild the engine.
