    The wife’s car is a 2001 forester (automatic) and in the last few days we have started to have a burnt oil smell, upon inspection the transmission dipstick has piped out, I put it back in and it is rather loose in there.

    My question is should the dipstick have some type of o-ring?
    And what would cause it to pop out and leak?

    Thanks in advance!

    IIRC there was one or two orings and the bracket that bolts it in place
