I noticed last night after having the cab parked up on a banking that oil was leaking out of where the dipstick goes.

Is this just a failing o-ring or anything more sinister?

Thought it might be, it was too dark to start trying to figure it out last night, dont suppose you know if the o-4ring is an off the shelf size or dealer part only?
