The magic dip stick....
Never seen this before, but my oil dip stick ejects itself from the dipstick tube about 2 or 3 inches after driving at highway speeds. It only recently started to happen, and I'm assuming it's a vaccum issue. Being a 3.slow, and having a million different vaccum lines, does anyone know which ones would directly affect the oil stick?
I already did the starter fluid check on the lines and got no change to the idle.
Anybody have any suggestions?

PCV, dam didn't think of that.... But I just replaced it, and it was a bear to do. Genuine Toyota part too, but I'll check it.
The dip stick rubber is soft and seals great... Thought of that the first time I noticed it was popping. Is that a replacable part, or do you have to get that whole dipstick.
Any other suggestions?
