Post Dipstick Seal.
It looks like the seal on my dipstick has gone,
What do I do?

Can I replace it?

How can I replace it?

Cheers
Louis

bit of gaffer tape? ;) might be worth checking the crankcase vacuum though - I wonder if your breather's worn out?

Might sound silly, I've always found mine don't go in quite far enough, as the dipstick is slightly too long, I've cut 'about' 5mm off the bottom and it sits a treat in it's seat
