as the title states i got oil squirting out of my dip stick and its making a mess under the bonnet wht could this be caused by, and how can i fix it?

Most likely need a engine rebuild mate probably rings

I smell engine rebuild

or open breathers up if they are still stock, engine cant breathe it pressurises and yeah, dipstick out or lots of blowby

I wouldnt go saying its your engine yet... checked you dont have blocked breathers?

can't be an engine rebuild only done one 10,000kms ago

this same thing happened to a mate of mine and it ended up begin his catch can

If its not breathing properly itll throw the pressure out the dipstick... so check breathers / catch can etc first.

Too much boost on standard breather system?

just squeez the end of your dipstick together a little bit, and get bigger breathers

Let me get this straight... the oil is splashing out the dipstick tube while the engine is idling?

How full is your engine with oil, sounds pretty normal to me that oil would splash out when there are moving parts rotating. Doesn't sound like a problem with blow-by or blocked breathers. Make sure the oil level is correct, as you may not know the oil will expand when hot so if it's on the correct full mark when you first start up cold, it will rise slightly when the engine is warm. Is it pushing oil out the dipstick when it's cold?

well if u get oil out the catchcan, and i mean more than you should, get bigger breathers lines/fittings.
