Hi,
you all seem to know your stuff, so would like to ask for some advice.
never had this happen before, but the oil dipstick tube/housing has come away from the point it connects to the sump. No oil leaking out and have plugged it with a piece of rag for past week, with no mishap.
Any ideas on the cheapest way to fix this (metal putty/replace with new?) would be appreciated.
Also, would this have caused the dashboard 'engine management' light to come on. It hasn't been back on since plugging the sump insert?
many thanks, Dean.

you probably need a new tube not expensive from main dealer. its probably the rubber seal thats perished. did have the same thing a couple of years back, but cant exactly remember what happened

Thanks for the advice. Does anyone know if it's an easy DIY?

It just pulls out there is a O ring on the bottom, make sure it has not snapped off which i doubt but if it has you will need to pull it out.
