Also had the same problem with it popping out despite having krankvents.

I check my oil at least 1.5 times a week on average.
Never had a problem with low oil just I am anal when it comes to ensuring there is sufficient oil especially on a car that is tracked/auto-xed so much..

I think my o-rings are just worn out.

Turned mine around and wedged a piece of rubber in-between the valve cover and the dip stick. Problem solved

Spin the dipstick around 180 degrees from 'normal'. I do that on my track car because I'm too lazy to replace the o-rings.
That's the tip of the day for this problem. It creates a little more tension and it doesn't pop out.
