dip stick tube seal?

Ok guys,

I've read the ones where it is a major leak.. but it looks like I'm getting some spray/dripping like it needs a new seal. Truck has ~ 140,000 miles on it. Seems to run well.
That or maybe I need a new dip stick? Dodge and or Cummins part number would be most appreciated.


Michael

Where is it leaking from, the block or the dipstick end?
How is the blowby, could your crankcase vent be clogged?

out the end. Vent is not clogged.

Dip stick doesn't seal or fit well. Looks like there is a torn rubber cylindrical seal?

It has had some higher speed driving. 80+ mph which is not my norm.

The seal isn't listed as a separate part. I guess you'll have to spring for a dipstick.

I suspect that it'll just pop loose and leak anyway because of excess blow by.

140,000 miles and it needs an engine? Seriously doubt it.

I'll get a new dip atick.
