MY2000 2.3 engine
I had the engine idling for a bit to while checking for a coolant leak and pulled the oil dipstick to check the oil even though I know you're not supposed to check it with the engine running. As soon as I twisted the cap it popped up from the internal pressure and there was a pssh of air escaping. I can't recall ever pulling the dipstick with the engine running. Is this normal?
I did PCV#6 when I bought it ~6 years ago, and have replaced the check valve twice that I remember (even though the valve was still good both times). I have replaced a few minor seals, gaskets and o-rings. I have the typical timing cover leak in the upper corner but AFAIK that is the only place where it leaks oil. Pistons, rings and head gasket are original at 190K miles.
