the dipstick to check the oil gets stuck about 3/4 of the way down. i have removed it and turned it over and inserted it again but still the same thing. i have looked to see if its broken but its not. it was working fine until yesterday when i went to check the oil.
my impala also burns/leaks oil. i have to put in about 1 to 1 1/2 quarts in between oil changes.

2004 impala 3800 series

wheres it leaking from, maybe the dipstick?????


you can get a new tube from the dealer for ~$30

GM says its common to lose about a quart of oil every 3000 miles or so

thanks...looking into getting another tube and checking for the possibilty that it may be leaking oil from there too.
