Default Swap done need some addtional help

Ok i dont know how the heck this happened but i forgot to put the dipstick in when we were done and oil was coming out of the hole and onto the headers. I put my dad's dipstick from his maxima in there just so i could get to the store but they only have universal ones. I have a gsr engine and what kind of dipsticks can i use? Ima have to stop past the shop after work to see if it's still there. I'm scared to drive because i dont know if my oil level is low and i dont want to damage the engine.

2nd question.
Should the axle on the passenger side be flat against the transmission or should there be a little gap. I noticed it this morning when i drove it. I didnt take it over 45mph. The gap is about the size of the federal reserve bank(where the letter is) seal on the left side front of a dollar bill.

I have oil in my car. Is there such thing as too much oil? I'll plug it up with something. What about the axle?

Yes. The axle as long as it moves the car you should be okay.

if there's too much oil in the pan the crankshaft churns in it creating bubbles which transfers to air in the oil which is lubricating/cooling the engine. and with too little oil...we all know what happens then!

Ok the axle wasnt the problem. One of my friends is telling me it's the ball joints. I raised the car and all the shaking went away. I'm changing the oil tomorrow with mobil 1 5w-30 and a k&n filter
