For the actual connection to the pan, did your dipstick come with a brass fitting that has two open ends to it, mabe about 1.5 inches long? Each end for this fitting has a rubber ring inside it--one to slip onto the pan bung, the other for the dipstick tube to slip in. That fitting then has two "nutlike" collars that tighten those rings onto each for a tight seal.
