There isn't a dipstick(engine oil) that "stays" in the engine..MB does offer a SPECIAL tool dipstick for that engine.
Start fresh with the car & replace all of the fluids & the spark plugs. Also replace the filters.
IT is normal to see gooey milky stuff in the oil cap & dipstick tube in "colder" weather.
