The one in the engine, not the think behind the steering wheel.

Where does it enter the sump?

I've got a pesky oil leak, and I'm running out of ideas?

[Andy H]

In this picture it is disappearing down behind the aluminium cradle for the power steering pump. I don't think I took that off so I never saw where the dipstick went into the block.

[Andy H]

Another shot from a different angle. I don't think it goes down as far as the sump casting.

I pulled the dip stick tube out once, on my 2.5 I think, while doing a stat change. Undo bastward bolt and pull. Might talking rubbish though, it was a long time ago.

So guess a rubber seal is involved, on top of the sump behind ac pump.

down between power steering pump and block-

I'm not going to pull mine out to check  but I reckon that when you pulled your dipstick out there would have been on 'O' ring in a groove on the end of the dipstick tube (so not talking rubbish  )

yes there was. It was rubbish because all except the desired info was present. Most of which he already knew no doubt.

She's watching strictly, with some distracting nicker elastic.

As I feared. Had it been top of sump, I would have used a sealent. Not sure I can get to that area, so will order oring.

Thanks

Does it pull straight out (once B-bolt removed)?

When out, can you see where it goes it?

How many o-rings on it, epc implies 2

I couldn't see the end of mine or the hole that it goes in to personally, ooooeeeerrrr misses. 
When I did my stat change, I ended up with the transfer pipe bracket on the wrong side of the dipstick bracket so I pulled the dipstick out of the way and pulled it out by mistake. I aimed it in the approximate direction that it had come from and just struck lucky getting it back in. I felt the 'O' ring resistance until it slid in. Can't help with number of 'O' rings as I didn't see the end as I was panicking. 
If you want me to lay under it to guide it back in just give me a shout and I'll pop over.

I tried to word it differently but gave up in the end.
