Hey, quick question: oil’s sneaking out where the dipstick tube goes into the engine. Anyone had this issue before? Think I can DIY it, or should I just roll it into the shop? Any tips are super appreciated!


Cheers.
 
What I usually do is pull the 8mm bolt, clean the tube with brake cleaner, and then apply some sealant where the O-ring and tube meet. It is a pretty simple DIY fix, but just be careful with the sealant to make sure it doesn’t clog anything.
