Yesterday when I checked the oil level, noticed two cracks on the base part of the oil level indicator. The pic shows one of the cracks and a similar crack seen in the behind too!
Would like to know anybody experienced a similar problem. I am bit afraid of further crack will occur to fall off to the sump or any other part of the engine? Should I replace the stick or any ideas guys? 
Please refer the link for the photo. Cheers. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/4cvj...directlink |

I doubt it [the end of the dipstick] would float

That looks like just it's just a split from where the 'end' of the dip stick is compressed onto the flexible cable - it's not a crack that will go through the flexible cable and cause the dip stick to break.
I would try to break the small bit of metal off so it doesen't end up in the oil Carl MY11 110 XS Station Wagon in Stornoway |
