dipstick help please!

as dumb and retarded as this may sound (to most anywas) I broke my flipping engine oil dipstick off at the block on accident, sucker wouldn't come out. I ofcourse undid the bolt that holds it at the exhaust manifold but now how do I get the piece out of the block? (which is in the car still, so dropping the oil pan and doing it the easy way isn't an option)

also ideas on where to find a new cheap dipstick? nothing fancy.

Re: dipstick help please!

This happened to me

Go to advanced, and look threw their Philips screw drivers ( I think the 1 I used had a detachable bit, idk) anyways...you will find 1 that you think will fit, stick it into the diptube (in the hole..) and push it in far. You will then think that it may get stuck so you start to pul it out. The screw driver along with the dip piece will come out together, you end up leaving the broke piece in the parking lot and take the driver back in the store and drive home VERY SLOWLY as to try and shoot as little oil onto your headers as possible.
