Where could this be leaking from? dipstick area - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Again, I suggest a touch form-in-place sealant go along with the o-ring. A tiny bit goes a long way.

This is easily now an hour and a half job!

I would have to add an hour for a nap, in between finding the wrench and actually getting started ........

Does look like a lot of porosity in that casting.
There may be voids in the side of the dip tube hole after machining it.

NOT epoxy! Use RTV to fill voids where it may seep past the o-ring.

Brought it in for service and the dipstick o ring was replaced under warranty.

They replaced it without draining the oil though. Jsut curious because I was hoping they'd change the oil for free haha, but doesn't seem like it so I'll do that soon.
