Afternoon all.
Went to check my oil at lunchtime, and as I pulled out the dipstick, the top of the dipstick housing and the (approx 9 inch) pipe underneath which leads straight into the sump broke away. The plastic is so brittle it just crumbles in my hand.
So my question is, will I have problems driving the car the next couple of days? I have put the dipstick back with the remaining bit of pipe, but obviously it's just resting on the top of the sump. Will all my oil come out through this whole?
(Sorry if this is a dumb question, don't know much about this side of engines)
Thanks folks.
