Oil dipstick tube question.
I picked up a new Oil dipstick tube from GM dealership today.
The old one was broken at the at the small bracket that holds it in place. My question is: Do I need a rubber grommet or O' Ring where it slides into the block? It has a lot of play "wiggle" and The reason for replacing old one is because oil has been spewing out from where it inserts into block! The old one didnt have any O ring when removed and New one didnt come with one

Re: Oil dipstick tube question.
Got a part number for the tube?
Was it a left or right side? |

on mine it is on the Passanger side. The guy at the counter didnt ask me about what side it was on though. Does it differ in size?
