Re: Leaky dipstick

The plastic part that makes up the top of the dipstick tube is easily broken or cracked and the dealerships generally keep them in stock. They cost about $2.50. I'd replace this first. It could be seeping and you see the oil puddled at the bottom of the tube. If the metal part of the tube is loose enough to wiggle freely follow the advise above.
