Subject:checking oil on '90 vanagon gl

when i try to check the oil level, i pull the dip stick thing out, wipe it
off, shove it back in and pull it back out and... the oil smears all over the
whole length of the stick and i have no idea how much oil i have. i also own
a jetta III and when i check the oil on that car, it is really obvious how
much oil i have. what am i doing wrong with the vanagon? the gas station
attendant couldn't do it, either.
