Five finger salute

The O rings are still on the dipstick, slightly worn down. The problem is the dipstick tube is rusty down there, or totally covered in crud. The dipstick is very rusty 2/3 of the way down from the top.

It is fun watching the oil vapors bubble up and make a mess, with the dipstick in place.

I need to play with this part for a while before I write it off as a lost cause.

I think the new dipsticks have multiple O rings. Size unknown.
