L2500DT, King Kutter 5' bush hog, Howse 4' disc, back blade, plow, boom pole.
My L2500 stays at the "farm." Went to check things out and looked at all the fluids, blew the radiator screen, etc. Cranked up, dismounted and started to put the side panels back on while it warmed. One of the bolts that fastens the panel surrounding the engine was really dry and difficult to screw in. Not having an oil dispenser handy I went to the engine oil dipstick and removed pulled it out. Planning to allow a drip or two to flow onto the dry bolt. The engine is idling. When I removed the dipstick I got "spits" of oil popping out of the dipstick hole.
The dipstick is simply a hole in the engine. There is no tube allowing the dipstick to be guided into position like an automobile.
Is the spitting normal? Caused by down stroke pressure or does it indicate an issue?
Any advice or information appreciated.
