Dip stick doesn't stay while running
The damn dip stick in my E16S refuses to remain where it should be, ejecting itself about a half inch out of the engine at some point while it runs. It does this very often. It fits in place snugly.
Anybody have any ideas as to why it's doing this? Let me hand out some more info on the engine: It's got over 160k on it, runs a bit rough, and tends to overheat... all the time. (I run my heater on nothing less than 3.. It's my winter car, so no big deal.) But! She's still reliable.
Any clues? It's done this for as long as I've owned it (~30k) and may also be the cause of oil loss. Any help would be, well, helpful.
