That popped out dipstick and oily mess happened twice on my '88 240. I cleaned the flame trap and orifice on the maifold carefully the first time and the stick still came out. I replaced the o-ring and so far it is holding. Like yours, my old o-ring was like a hard piece of plastic. The new one feels tighter.

When I do the jiggle test, the oil filler cap stays put even though it is the lighter plastic one.
