Upon trying to troubleshoot my shaky engine block, I have noticed that when checking my oil level, the dipstick is covered in oil, about half way up and I have to wipe it and re dip it to check the proper level.

Is it normal for the oil to travel so far up the dipstick in these older cars or do I have a potential problem with some gaskets?

Just wondering.
