I noticed a burning oil smell yesterday on my way home from work, and today after I ran an errand (after not seeing any hard evidence) I noticed that I was leaking a fair amount of oil at my sisters.

So when I got home, I looked under my car and lo-and-behold, I was leaking oil in a whole new place!

Looked in the engine compartment, and didn't see anything on the passenger side...so I looked at the drivers side, and noticed a fair amount of oil on the engine/transmission bellhousing area. But I've always had that.

So I looked at the dipstick tube, and holy crap! It's not connected!!!

I could physically move it around like a loose tooth. In fact, the bolt that is with the bracket is completely gone (!?) and the dipstick tube seems to have been sheered off at the engine (I think there's a little lip in the hole for the DS).

Outside of trying to remove the part I'm assuming is the broken part of the tube, is it a difficult procedure to replace? I'm hoping to get one at a JY tomorrow...
