Ford xflow

Another thing I found with my Xflow is that it sometimes had a tendancy to blow oil out of the dipstick if it was overfilled and the dipstick wasn't too secure - first time this happened I nearly crapped myself  :blush:  :0  :0  - as a large blue cloud erupted from under the bonnet - I thought I'd blown something seriously.

Investigation (looking at the underside of the bonnet) showed that there was an oily splodge just above the dipstick - and the oil had sprayed all over the engine bay - hence the blue smoke!

I now have a small 'catch pot' over the top of the dipstick - which consists of the remains of an old pop bottle with the neck sealed over the dipstick tube
