so the other day I was checking my oil and was unfortunately able to pull out the dipstick holder. I can get it back in, but its loose. any ideas how to get it back in securely?

Thanks,

Yv

 

bump i had the same problem just 2 days ago, I'm also wondering how the shaft the dipstick goes into is secured to the block

 

looking at mine, I can see that small amounts of oil are seeping through this area now..

Lightly hit the end that goes in the block with a hammer to make it slightly out of round.Clean the tube and the area of the block that it goes in with some brake clean.Put a little automotive silicon (rtv) around the end and tap it back into the block.Let it dry for an hour or so.
