[Spits] removing oil pan

[Doug Braun]

How much gas is coming out of the dipstick tube?
Try putting a rubber glove or balloon over the tube and see if there is
enough gas to inflate it.
Also, if you remove the oil filler cap (thus providing another place for
gas to exit), does oil
stop coming out of the dipstick tube?
