Found my oil leak. Couple questions.

Well, after a year of a pesky oil leak I couldn't trace down, I was under my car and noticed that my oil dip stick tube had a nice rotted out hole in it about an inch and a half away from the block... My question is, Where can I get a new one?? None of the auto parts stores around my house have one and I really don't want to go to the dealer for this... Junkyard is out of the question. Is there anywhere you guys can think of that has them? It was for a 91 305 tbi, which I now have the motor in my sig, with the same pan. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
