Loose dipstick

New to water cooled forum. 91 cabriolet dipstick tube pulls out of block. There must be an o ring or something holding it in. Anybody know and where can I get one. I'm sure it's been covered already,but can't find it. Thanks

Did you ever locate dipstick parts?

Unfortunatly not. I went to dealer they pulled up diagram and it shows there's no other part holding it in. It's just pressed into the block.

All of the 1.8L blocks I have ever dealt with have the tube as a press fit into the block and I have never removed on nor tried to remove one. You should be able to some how expand the base of the tube and press it back in and maybe use some sealant or JB weld to seal and keep it in place.
