Oil leaking from Dip stick

It could be coming from elsewhere, but there are two o-rings that seal the dipstick, so that is probably where it is leaking. I had to replace mine. Unbolt the one bolt at the top that holds it in and give a mighty yank. Watch out for your face.

Replace the o-rings, then shove it back down in there. Worked like charm.
