Dipstick tube seating position

Is this designed to be completely down against the bulge inthe tube when properly installed into the pan?
I noticed on mine it is about a half inch out of the pan to the bulge on the tube. Wonder if I have been running with too much oil in the engine?

I've noticed this too on mine, and this thread has already fallen to the 2nd page with no replies (bump?). Mine tends to be "oil wet" when I remember to take a glance at it.

Anyone?
