Default B20, oil dipstick leaking.

I have a b20 and it is leaking oil through the oil dipstick. how do I fix it? My dad is going to beat my *** if I dont stop this oil leak. Oh and my turbo is leaking oil too . Screw me! Should I just go all motor? I will still have a b20 with forged internals and a skunk2 intake mani. Give me suggestions

No o-ring. Its a press fit. They get loose! You have to knurl the tube. Put some teeth on it so it grips. Add some red threadlocker to it and tap it back in with a long punch

Im going to clean everything up, remove the turbo kit, slap some headers, put JB weld in the bottom of the dipstick, and call it a day.

If there's oil getting out, then maybe you have too much crankcase pressure. Do a leakdown test to make sure your rings are sealing...which wouldn't hurt anyway. Then, as long as that checks out, ad a breather tank. Unless you're running like 10:1 compression, it's not going to be much fun naturally aspirated.

You could rig up a breather setup fairly cheap. Under $50 or so, probably easily less.
