Chevies tend to do that. If Chevy, try pulling the housing and dipstick , cleaning where it seats and the housing itself with laquer thinner and applying RTV hi-temp. and leaving till it sets up. You may need to make a bracket to tie it to the motor so it doesn't move.

Make sure tube does not have a crack or hole that is causing the leak. If so, replace tube. If tube checks out ok, and leak appears at base of tube, remove tube. Using a dremel tool, careful not to penetrate all the way thru, make a shallow groove completely around the bottom of the tube. Clean groove of any debris, remove any sharp edges or burs. Then position a smaller diameter O-ring in the groove. Replace dipstick, check for leaks.

This depends on what car you are talking about. If you have an e36 M3 there is a bolt about halfway down the dipstick tube that needs to be loosened ( I believe it is a 10mm). Once this is loosened you have a good time to replace the o-ring on the bottom of the tube and you can reposition in the sump from the bottom of the vehicle. Now, while pulling down on the tube from the bottom of the car have a buddy tighten the bolt from the top or find a way to get your arm up to that bolt and tighten it. .
