OK, this has been going on for a while. Ever since I put on my headers, I had to twist the dipstick tube around a little bit to fit them in on the driv. side, I've had a very small oil leak. It looks like it is coming from where the dipstick tube goes into the oil pan, but it also looks like it is coming from the sensor(?) connection underneath the dipstick tube. I had given up on it and decided to replace the oil pan when I figured out i'd have to pull the engine to replace the whole pan. Is there anyway to repair or seal the leak where it's at until I can replace the pan? Anyone else ever have this problem? Thanks in advance for any help.
