My 727 dipstick tube leaks all the time. I think this has been covered here before, but what is the best way to seal the tube to the case? I have the engine out right now, so access is good. Thanks!

I would be looking at the tube real close to see if it is bent or cracked at the groove also check and make sure that the tube is going in the case deep enough. We install tubes at work on a daily basis with NO sealer and rarely ever have one leak if all is in good shape

Sounds like I need to spend some quality time with my tube and O-ring. Thank you!

The aftermarket locking dipsticks with a hefty seal (non o-ring) are pretty nice.
I must have missed that. Who offers those?
Cope Racing has them.

is the O ring square or a regular round one. A new round one(not from a trans shop though) leaked until I pulled the pan in my post but I remember thinking that the OD should have been larger.
