Why would oil shoot out of dipstick hole?

Oil can shoot out of the dipstick hole due to excessive pressure building up in the engine's crankcase. This can happen if the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system is malfunctioning, leading to a buildup of gases and pressure. Additionally, overfilling the engine with oil or a clogged breather can contribute to this problem. It's important to address the underlying issue to prevent potential engine damage.
