hey guys recently had to change a manifold gasket from my nissan zd30 engine and after i hooked back everything i'm getting an oil leak from the dipstick , where it goes into the block , its loose when i take out the bolt that's holding it to the engine , is there some bushing or anything that goes on the dipstick?

Maybe an O-ring

apparently there is a piece that attaches onto the dipstick and then goes into the block ,while taking it out that piece was stuck to the block , i eventually found it and fixed it back together ,no leaks anymore
