Rust on my dipstick

Hi all, the dipstick on my '97 S420 has developed a 2-inch long section of rust about halfway down it's length. I've removed it with a bit of sandpaper and some WD-40 but it keeps coming back.

I have checked the coolant & oil and they don't appear to have mixed, so I'm ruling out a head gasket at this point.

Has anyone experienced this before? What's the permanent fix?

Thanks!
