Default Some annoying little oil leaks AU XR8

Hey guys and girls,

Just after some quick input or advice on a few small oil seeps my car has. The first is what i think to be the front main seal (due to oil on the front of my sump) and also my dipstick tube is leaking. The bit where it appears to enter the actual sump. If you grab the tube you can move it up to a few mm in or out from its original position. Is there an O-ring or some kind of seal here that can be replaced?

Cheers Doug

The front of the sump in my AUII was wet so i tightened up the sump and it stopped weeping, But it looked like it may have been from the front main seal so check the sump bolts 1st. Mine was a I6 though.
