Thank you very much. I was starting to think that was the solution. Looks like someone had pulled some accessory or bracket from the engine and the hole was very close to where the dipstick mounted. Had me all confused.

On the bottom of the dipstick tube there is a round bevel that I guess is supposed to stop the dipstick tube from going all the way in the oil pan. On mine I have about an inch between the round bevel and the tip of the opening for the dipstick tube. Am I supposed to push the dipstick tube in further?
