engine oil dip stick
 
trying to get a oil dip stick for a 85-96 chevy 350 that is on right side of motor. for a s-10. go to dealer and they need to know what the application is for. got a chrome one from a speed shop and it leaks. any help. thanks

Any should work. I'd just tell them it's for a C1500 to keep it simple....

tried that. chrome ones are to tight. tried to grind off some chrome with silicone now it leaks. would like to find one from general motors and try it.

On my motor I had to put a o-ring on the shoulder of the dipstick tube where it goes into the pan and then silicon the hell out of it. Now its dry as a popcorn fart down there now.

Is it blowing the dipstick out? Or leaking where it goes in the block at the bottom?
