dip stick seal?

Post by domiles1 »

Turbo diesel 1600cc, about 1986ish. When the engine is running there is smoke coming from the dip stick hole where the outer sleeve meets the engine. I can see oil in the hole. Should there be a seal between the outer sleeve of the dip stick and the engine?
Thanks.
