Ok why in the hell does my dipsick come out of my car all the time. I mean its not just a little bit either clear up into the heat extractors in my hood. I spoke with my local mustang shop ( Brenspeed) and he told me he has been under the hood of over 3000 mustangs and never seen this problem and has now idea what would cause it. Any of you have this trouble?
 
The only car that I have ever seen this happen to is my old 91 SHO. Mine doesn't come out as far as you say yours does, but it does do something similar. I too have wondered what could cause this to happen and one thing that I can come up with is higher than normal crankcase pressure. My old SHO burns oil so I have to wonder if it doesn't have bad piston rings, which creates the higher crankcase pressure. The other thing that I've noticed on my SHO is the little o-rings around the dipstick where it enters the tube look a bit worn. I have debated changing them out with new o-rings to see if that would help it stay in. This may be something that you want to check as well.
 
Maybe your PCV system isn't working correctly and like COBESGT said, you're getting excess pressure in the block and it's trying to find it's way out.
