a couple of weeks ago when i tried to check my oil my dipstick housing came out of the oil pan and when i try to put it back in i cant get it to go back into the oil pan at all is there a certain way i have to do this? i tried doing it from under the car but i cant get it in the hole anyone have any ideas for me? thanks
 
If Im right the dipstick tube inserts into the block right above the pan. It takes a certain angle to get it back in and I would seal it up with a small dab of rtv. The tube doesnt go very far in and should have a small ridge at the bottom. Keep working at it and you will get it.
