And found the dipstick has burned oil all the way up to the handle, from about 5 inches from the bottom. It looks black, and its burned so badly that I couldnt wipe it off. Almost like I got a torch and heated it up for awhile.
I saw a very small whif of smoke come out of the dipstick hole when I pulled it out, thats normal, I know.
Is this something I should worry about? Never seen it before. Just thought I would ask in case I can prevent something from happening.
*edit*
Oil level is full and looks clean, with a very slight gas smell, though I am at 4100 miles and I know it needs changing.
