When looking for a pan gasket, there is a special listing for dual dipstick holes.

Not sure about length, but your 18.5" in a 15" tube sounds short. Only 3.5" into pan? Does it show any oil at all?

He is correct it means its a gm goodwrench replacement engine and both sides will read correct with the correct dip stick .One uses a tube only and the other doesnt have to you can get a direct fit from Lokar. The other option Mr Gasket , GM or what ever for the other tubes
