[QUOTE="pollyp, post: 750983, member: 4527"] the other day I was hitting boost and then cruising but noticed I was smoking alot of blue behind (oh gawd better not be the turbo or engine or overheating :rolleyes: ) nope temperature & mixtue was normal, so pulled over and lotsa smoke out the bonnet o_O opened bonnet expecting the worst, and spotted the dipstick had popped out and spewed oil over the hot turbo & alternator making the smoke. either I didn't push it all the way back on or the blowby pushed it off? wrapped some tape for a snug fit to complete the trip. so tday I gotta make a proper adapter to replace this temporary fitting. [ATTACH=full]51834[/ATTACH] after several attempts I machined this piece [ATTACH=full]51836[/ATTACH] the o-ring seals the tube, keeping the stick in place with a snug fit. the handle is threaded into the adapter [ATTACH=full]51837[/ATTACH] the dipstick end is simply rammed tight into the hole and is pretty secure [ATTACH=full]51838[/ATTACH] finished dipstick [ATTACH=full]51835[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]51839[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
