oil dipstick o-ring I'm trying to track down a leak. Can someone tell me if the oil dipstick tube suppose to have an o-ring on it where it slides into the oilpan? If so, what size? Thanks!

Yes it is I actually have two of them at my house I don't know the size but if you need one go to stealership and ask for a oil pickup tube o ring. I paid like $3 for one so they aren't expensive.

Not sure if it is different for an LS6 - but I wanted to change one as part of my head/cam/intake swap. Dealer told me you had to but the whole dipstick for $18....couldn't buy the O ring seperately. I passed rather than trying to match something up and have issues since mine was ok!
