Robert,

Yes, there is an O-Ring for the dipstick tube.  In the engine gasket
kits I've used it's a little green one.

I'm running ETKA 5.3 on my Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop with windows XP
home.  I also have to use a "Scrolling desktop" program to see whole
ETKA pages.  Anyway, after you undergo the special "XP" install
procedure, it works fine.

Mike
