Re: oil dipstick

I can't remember if those have a rubber grommet at the top underneath the handle for sealing or not. If it does, you could probably find a replacement grommet/washer at your local parts store. Paceparts.com can get a passenger side dipstick for you, but you may have to purchase the tube along with it. I ended up running a Lokar one when my tube broke because I didn't have time to wait for the shipping, and Summit racing's only an hour drive for me.
