    Default Oil dipstick leak

    I have what I believe is a leak from the base of the oil dipstick tube. My mechanic originally diagnosed it as a leaking oil level sensor. $200 later, he was wrong. Is there an O-ring at the base of the dipstick? Is it difficult to replace? Thanks Steve

    Default There is an o-ring :)

    Pull out the dipstick and the sleeve.Install the o-ring and stick it back in. The o-ring is cheap.
