Pictures? Mine is not bent, but I have a 93 so who knows about yours for sure. I know that you can make almost any dipstick work as long as it is somewhat similar. You can make your own marks on it so you know the levels.

Click to expand...
no the dip stick should have a rib on it where it slips into the block and also should have a tab that is either mounted on the intake or fuel rail bolt...there are two things that cause it to leak.
1.movement from not being bolted down.
2. blow-by from a pressurized cranks case.
