Dip Stick Broken! HELP
I was just checking my oil, and when I pulled up the dip stick, the top broke off. So now all I can see is the broken end about 28mm down the tube. I’ve tried pliers but with no luck.

The questions I have are:

1. Can I drive the car as the broken off piece has an O ring, so I’m thinking that the engine is pressurised for some reason?

2. How will I get the broken bit out?

3. Is this a known problem?
