[QUOTE="Coiled03, post: 16222898, member: 18779"] Got the oil changed in my 3.5L EB at the dealer today. Don't judge me lol. Anyhow, I'm driving home on the highway, look in the rear view mirror and realize I'm blowing blue smoke everywhere. It seemed to stop, so I drove it the rest of the way home about another 5 or 10 minutes. I realized after the fact it probably stopped because I wasn't in boost any more. I was going up a hill when it was blowing smoke, and it stopped when the road leveled off. Anyhow, I get home, pop the hood, and see the dipstick sticking out of the guide tube a good 3 or 4 inches. I don't know if it popped out from crankcase pressure, or if the dealership left it out, or what. Is this a known issue on EB engines? [/QUOTE]
