This is a great forum!! It looks like I didnt blow a gasket after all. I blew a dip stick!!! One of our friendly genius's PM'd me to check my dip stick as he had a similar thing happen. Sure enough, the dip stick was sticking out all the way to the wire at the cap. At high speed runs it squirts out out the dip stick tube if not seated. Looks like about 1/2 quart of oil. It looks like 5 gallons on the inside of my engine compartment! I guess my engines gets the bath that I have been thinking about giving it. Maybe I need to design a keeper for that dip stick. Hmmmmmm.....delrin clip, hinged snap over.. this might be easy...
