How many r53 owners have had their oil dipstick guide tube leak lots of oil? Just replaced the supercharger, and noticed that there was an oil leak and it looked to be centered around the guide tube, but even with the bolts undone, we could not pull the tube out, is there a trick? I am sure it is the o-ring on the end of the tube.
Comments, tips?

 

Tug harder while turning side to side. It will come out but the like to fight. Replace o-ring. Reinstall. Clean engine

 

+1 on the twist method while pulling up. Just make sure everything is unbolted on the tube and there is only one seal at the base.




O - Ring 11.81 X 2.6 Bottom of the dipstick tube. Part # 11437513891

Thanks and good luck.

 

Cool, thanks! Just need to take the front end off again :(
That is what mine looked like while we had the front end off replacing the SuperCharger!.

 

You are welcome,

Yea the pics help. Good luck.

 

BTW what would you charge for shipping for that little ring to 80504?

 

Its calculated on check out, you add to cart, add your location zip code, then continue and select what method you want to ship with to see the prices.

Thanks

 

No wonder the dipstick is such a pain in the butt. Look at that tube.
