Is it possible for the head gasket to be blown in my evo and still not show the main signs i:e oil in radiator

my car is spitting up oil through dipstick it is not burning much if any atall. just wondering could it be the head gasket cuz there is oil on spark plug no#4. the car is still driving like it always has hpefully it is not piston trouble. Can anyone put their knowledge to this oneIs it possible for the head gasket to be blown in my evo and still not show the main signs i:e oil in radiator
Headgaskets can fail in many different ways


( water to cylinder ) most common


( cylinder to cylinder )


( cylinder to oil )


( cylinder to crankcase )


or any combination of above. Sometimes you just have to remove the head(s) and carefully examine gasket to be sure of the problem


Or could even be a cracked headIs it possible for the head gasket to be blown in my evo and still not show the main signs i:e oil in radiator
its not your head gasket -its probably piston or rings- the oil coming out of the dipstick is from pressure building up in the crankcase caused by blowby a compression test will confirm it
Is there a breather pipe from crankcase to cam box area? if so it could be blocked, ( if back pressure was excessive it would blow the dipstick out of the hole or cause oil leaks from seals/gaskets etc. luck...
it appears that you have crankcase compression which can be caused by piston or ring failure , I suggest that you have a compression test on your cylinders also check that all your breather hoses are in good condition and clear .
Excessive cylinder wear and/or the compression rings. Engine compression is being pushed into the crankcase and that is why oil is spitting out of the dip stick.
Sounds like the piston rings
it possible that its piston rings thieve gone this is called back pressure sorry to say good luck
