Not an uncommon problem on the 4KW. The rubber plug seal on the oil dipstick gets loose and blows oil out the top.
You can try turning the dipstick handle so that the curl handle wedges against the exhaust manifolsd.
Or you can put a couple of wraps of tape around the rubber seal to help it fit more snugly.

Morning,

my 23' is on its maiden voyage, and after some quad carb (part)rebuilt
the 455 runs much better. However the Onan doesn't like to keep its oil.

Anyone has an idea?

After two minutes of running, there is a sizable amount of oil on the
tarmac. http://possy.de/onan2.jpg
