After my FR-S' Engine Spring Valve recall service on 1/31/19 (in New Jersey), I noticed (next day) the dipstick was broken at the tip (lost about half inch at the tip) and the dipstick could be inserted all the way in. So I went back to the dealer, they replaced the dipstick and tube. But now there is also similar engine oil leakage, not pouring, just slow leakage and I can smell the oil burning when driving and oil/dirt buildup below the dipstick tube. I'm going back to the dealer again tomorrow morning. Hopefully it's only the dipstick tube o-ring issue and not something big. What a frustrating experience!
