" My daughters 83 Spirit (258 engine) appears to be
" leaking oil out of the dipstick tube.  Is this
" possible?  I haven't been able to confirm it but the
" oil is on everything behind the end of the dipstick
" (ie the top of the distrib, etc).  It's definitely not
" coming from the valve cover or from the base of the
" distrib (new gasket). Any suggestions apprecitated. 
first thought - plugged pcv valve, forcing pressure to build up in
crankcase.  possible?
