oil dipstick completely submerged in oil
Just noticed this today. I can wipe the dipstick, stick it back in and when i pull it out it has oil on it from one end to the other. This is with the car on in neutral. If i do the same with the car off, dipstick doesnt get wet to the top. Also, I just noticed my engine makes a whining sound, doesnt go up with increasing rpm's, from the right side of the engine, possibly from the belt area. Anyone have any ideas what this could be? I really dont think the dipstick should get wet to the top in oil when the car is on. As far as i remember, last time it did not do that. Thanks.
