The reason the dip stick blew out was because the crankcase venting system
is
a totally flawed design. In cold weather without modifications you are at
risk
of destroying your 8 valve.
Write for detailed modifications and the reasons why your motor will
self-destruct
if left to it's druthers

Subject: [Peugeot-L] O2 Sensor Questions 405S
Hello,
In the past years I have seen how malfunction of the O2 sensor can bring on
bad running and the CHECK ENGINE light. Once I got it in cold (-10°F) when
the oil blew out the dipstick and soaked the sensor. I got it this year
after flooding my Mi16 and finally getting it started. Now I think the
problem has recurred. Three times after driving in very wet winter storms,
after stopping for a short period, the engine will chug along, barely
idling, and will clear itself up in twenty or thirty seconds, and of course
bring up the self-enrichment fault code. This never happens in dry weather.
I read to never get anything on the outside of the sensor, could chemicals
dumped on the roads cause problems?
