Default Oil coming out the oil dipstick area!

Oh lord another problem, . I was checking my car after all the installs over the weekend and apparently when I unbolted the oil dipstick and moved it out the way to install the Tsudo Header I broke something. At the bottom where it looks like the oil dipstick goes into some hole there is oil coming up through there and is sitting there! I dont know if I broke something, knocked something loose or what had happened but oil is escaping through the hole on the motor where the dipstick goes into! I cant win!

Prob the gasket. Its a small oring - remove the dipstick, take the oring off, and take the oring into Oreilleys/Advance/whereever and buy a replacement. Usually thye will have an assortment behind the counter.

Are you talking about the dipstick itself or the metal thing where the dipstick goes into. Cuz im talking about the metal thing the dipstick goes into! The metal thing that looks like it connects to the block has oil coming out from where it looks like it attaches to the block! Thanks
