Re: dipstick tube leaks
I would use the JB weld myself.
Be very careful about using RTV on a newer vehicle. There are two
types, the 'regular' RTV silicone who's fumes will destroy the O2 sensor
in a blink.
You need the more expensive 'sensor safe' RTV.

Re: dipstick tube leaks
I can't recall seeing non-sensor safe RTV in a long time Mike, is it even
still sold?
