OK what's the deal, I got a lokar dipstick for a 4L60 E and it leaks like crazy.

Um, was there a seal included for where it goes into the trans? Where is the leak?

Yes. It has two o rings

I would just call you but I lost your number in the whole "cell phone toilet fiasco" several weeks ago.
I sent another PM with a thought on that problem. Let me know how it goes.

Oh no... I just got mine in the mail.
Let me know if you figure it out.

I called Lokar and they said the solution is High Temp RTV around the top of the tube going into the trans. I did it last night so will see how it works once it's dried and fill again. I'm just thinking if they want me to use RTV then the o Rings are not doing there job correctly. I did try thicker o rings but I could not get it to go in the whole.
