Oil leak from bottom of oil dipstick tube

The is no vacuum coming from the air spacer cleaner

Sounds like you have excess blow-by, or a defective/incorrect PCV valve. Or you're not assessing the vacuum correctly.

And for the blow-by, could it be caused by poorly adjusted valves?

 

[Schurkey]

Blow-by is a product of ring sealing issues, not valve sealing issues. (There is the potential for WILDLY wiped-out exhaust valve guides to cause "blow-by", but the guides have to be REALLY bad.)

Okay. I'm just gonna take it to the shop I work at on Monday. I'm done playing games alone, and I don't really have equipment (like vacuum gauges/compression gauges) at my house.

The way I tested the air cleaner spacer line was stupid, meaning I just put my finger over the hole in the spacer, and I felt nothing. Thank you for the insights, especially because I'm still learning, and I'll update this thread sometime next week, providing I stop having this problem.

I'm sorry if I wasted any of your time.

Put a piece of paper close-to but not actually against the hole in the spacer, see if the paper gets sucked against the hole.

If it won't at idle...try at 1000--1200 RPM.

Is there light vacuum at the air cleaner spacer side of the system when the vehicle is idling?

I finally got around to it. There's no vacuum coming from the pcv, air cleaner spacer, nor dipstick tube

Correction, there is vacuum coming from the pcv, and very slight pressure from the dipstick tube

If you can feel pressure from dip stick tube you have to much. Most crank case pressure are measured in “h20 (inches of water) and technically should be under a vacuum

WHERE on the PCV system? You need to verify this on the opposite side of the engine from the actual PCV valve--where the fresh, filtered air would enter the valve cover via a tube/hose.

Yup. At idle/fast idle there should be mild vacuum at the fresh-air inlet, or at the dipstick tube.

Either the PCV valve is clogged, defective, or the incorrect part; or the engine has excessive blow-by.
