Re: dipstick tube leaks
I've always laid it to someone beating it out. Of course, it's
possible penned it down by vibration, if it's support bracket is also
broken.

I've never seen a tube labeled "non-sensor safe" but I have seen them
both with "oxygen sensor safe" or no mention of a sensor.

I sent a friend up to Canadian Tire for some RTV and he sure managed to
find the 'regular' RTV easily enough, seeing as that is what he brought
home.
The permatex 'ultra' line of RTV is the sensor safe one.
