broken dipstick

what problems would this cause? my stock dipstick broke and we put it back in until we had a replacement but omne day it spurted oil out of thehole in the tube so i bought a new one, didnt fit so i hammered the hole in the tube closed so it cant leak and reionstalled the old one. Would this cause any problems?

Only when you go to check the oil.
