Who's got a Leaky Dipstick?

[Jimski]

Meeeeeee! haha

Just a quick reassurance thread really, noticed that the beeza had a little too much oil in when i bought it (freshly serviced), so whipped that out as soon as i could. Wasnt a lot btw and i have read all the overfill threads

However i have noticed a build up around the base of the dipstick where it joins the sump.

Cleaned last night around the affected area, and a very small amount appeared today.

Would this be to do with the overfill? And once the oil settling back into the sump it rises to the level of the dipper base and 'squidges' out?

I understand that there is no direct seal to this, and its more of a tight fit?

Its not peeing out, but as with a new purchase im a little anal about things whilst under warranty!

Cheers

if its under warranty just take it back there if its worrying u! to be honest i think noone has replied coz this has never happened/been an issue for anyone which (if u think about it) is a good thing coz it means no beeza on here has had a leaky dipstick before so hopefully this wont develop into an issue for u! much love, Rach

Does anyone know how the dipstick fits into the sump? Push fit? Threaded?

Push fit isnt it?
I dont have to twist mine. Ever, Not even sure I can!

Hmmm ok, il have a fiddle tomorrow, looks like the black part needs to be reseated into the block/sump possibly with some instant gasket.
