A dipstick tube holder is not a fix for a failed pcv system. Is that what you were suggesting with your comment? I sure hope not.

I don't think that's what she means at all. The most common cause is a bad pcv valve which allows pressurized air from the intake manifold to go back into the crankcase. This is the most common cause of dipsticks being blown out. A new o-ring around the dipstick, a new dipstick tube, or a spring to keep it from popping out are NOT the correct fixes.
