Chuck, the dipstick tube is actually loose. I think that I could just wiggle it out,.....however, I think that because of the curve in it,....it is restricted from being removed,.....not certain of this,....and reluctant to try it as it seems that every time I move or wiggle it,.....it leaks a little more. I just changed the oil, and would prefer NOT to drain the oil if possible.
