Have a new o-ring, acetone, and black RTV on hand. Next oil change while it's drained, pull the dipstick tube. Clean all around & degrease thoroughly with acetone. (q-tips in the hole)

Coat the o-ring and a little inside the hole with the thinnest hint of RTV, and assemble.

Leave it overnight to cure. Fill with oil. Drive.
