    Default Goodbye Engine?

    Alright people I have been having this really bad oil leak for a while and I thought it was valve covers. Turns out that the oil was actually coming out from the dipstick tube, but this oil is coming out with a lot of pressure. I read that if this is happening, that it is most likely that my piston rings are no good anymore. Any thoughts or suggestions on this matter?
