Default Question about my oil pressure making sssshhh noise.

Ok so I've had my B16 now for about 6 months and recently when I pull out the dipstick it makes this ssshh noise (as stupid as it sounds, its like a blowoff valve). It just started doing this recently. I don't know if its normal or not. Should I be concerned?

stock B16 with I/E changed the oil every 2500miles on Mobil 1 synthetic.

When you pull the dipstick like actually out of the hole it makes that noise? WTF..

The only thing that comes to mind might be a little bit of pressure but i'm not sure if that would make a b.o.v noise...

So it is when u actually pull the dip out of the hole right?

Don't know why you dipstick is holding pressure but you are changing oil way too much.

Lets think...what would cause pressure to build up in the crankcase/oil pan area?

PCV valve clogged up...that's the best thing I can come up with.

Did you search the archives?
