dipstick tube leak
Hi, I just finished installing my Yank SS4000. When I started filling with fluid I noticed fluid dipping on the ground. Since I hadn't started the car yet I traced the leak coming from half way up the dipstick tube. About where the bolt is. As my dipstick is pretty loose I believe I ripped it of the bolt when I drooped my tranny out. Has anyone heard of this happening before. Can I drive it until I get a new tube? Should I get a flexible aftermarket one? Any advice would be appreciated.

Dangerous to have any oil leak; it will get on your tires.
The dealer should be able to get a new tube within a day.
Tricky to install with the trans in, but I read that the key is having two people - one feeding from above and one guiding it into the trans from below.
