Oil Dipstick Tube Seal

[EOLIVER]

Anyone know the part number for a 1987 oil dipstick tube seal?
I have looked on all the GM sites and the only thing I've been able to find is the transmission dipstick tube seal. Or is there a seal?

I just looked at fiche #1 page 1G23 and it doesn't show a seal...Perhaps its just an o ring or its a seal that comes with a set.

There is no seal on the oil dipstick. It is press fit and you can use a sealer on it. I would suggest first trying to clean it with brake cleaner and let it dry and apply a good silicone around it. Make sure you rub it on not just squirt it on. If it is a lose fit you may want to replace the dipstick tube. If you replace it avoid the generic replacements they usually do not fit.
