anyone seen this before...right near the bottom of the stick tube. or is this oil leak coming from some place else?

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.
