check your PCV valve ... stop yelling and if the PCV checks out then you are looking at possible blowby...

Re: PRESSURE IN THE DIPSTICK

Do you have any oil in the antifreeze or water in the oil?

Re: PRESSURE IN THE DIPSTICK

i checked further into it and found a kink in the tube coming from the PCV which i fixed . i then still had the pressure problem so i replaced the PCV just in case even though it seemed to be working and it fixed the problem , it must have been partially plugged or some thing . thanks for the help and replies
