Message Hey guys. Way back when I was a bigger noob than I am now, I didn't install the dip stick tube prior to the exhaust Mani. The engine was being assembled in the car one head at a time with the turbos attached as I didn't have a hoist. Thus the dipstick tube got bent this way and the next to snake it down in there.

With the engine out this time around I had the chance to change the tube but I figured it works so why 'waste money'. Should have listened to my gut and changed it. Anyway the thing leaks because the expanded section at the top isn't perfect to snuggly hug the actual dipstick.

Any suggestions?? I was thing worst case just to cap it off and leave the dip stick out until I have to check oil.
