I have a 2001 VW Jetta 1.8t, and at about 150,000 miles my dipstick tube started to crumble. My mechanic told me that it would be fine to drive without it cross country, but halfway through it really started splashing out, gave me some real problems, I would recommend replacing it as soon as possible. Some people have suggested plugging it with something though until you can get it fixed, such as a cork, just make sure that nothing falls in.
