I Melted My Dipstick
Kept getting smoked out when I would boost and couldn't figure it out. Turns out crank case pressure pushed out my dipstick a little and the rubber surround on the top of it melted. Has this happened to anybody else?

Not happening here but, if your crankcase pressure is that high you very well may have severe ring blow-by. I would do a compression test to see if the motor is toast. The PCV system should take care of this in all but the most extreme cases. Good luck.
