 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

Re: Dipstick Seal. I like it when my car works, and when my engine bay is clean

Re: Dipstick Seal. bit of gaffer tape? might be worth checking the crankcase vacuum though - I wonder if your breather's worn out?

Re: Dipstick Seal. First thing I checked and changed, its defiantly coming from round the dip stick.

Re: Dipstick Seal. 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

Re: Dipstick Seal. Hmmm.  Hope you've recalibrated the dipstick...
