Problems with oil shooting out of the dip stick on Renault Espace 2005?
After an oil change and the change of language on a Renault Espace 2005, the oil started to shoot out of the dip stick, flooding the engine. It then affected the alternator causing the battery from not charging. I don't know what to do to stop the oil forcing its self out of the dip stick. Can anyone help me solve this problem? Thanks
If the oil is not overfilled then the crankcase is pressurising causing oil to be pushed out the easiest route. This may be just a breather blockage or more serious piston/ring damage etc.

Who did the oil change. WHY change language, not that that would affect the oil.
HOW much oil was put in, sounds as if far too much.
To cure. Drain the oil out, and refill making sure that correct amount is put in. IF that does not cure it, might be a blockage is the oil flow system, the engine would need to be flushed out, and refilled.
