Don't know if it will fit, but where in the dipstick exactly is it pissing from? Where the stick goes into the block just above the oil pan rail, is the dipstick tube cracked, pissing out of the top of the dipstick tube or what?

its cracked along the bottom near where the engine block meets the tube...i think... im nearly certain.. i'm nervous that if i pull it out, it will snap and i'll be screwed... if that happens, the only thing (which i know is a very bad idea) is to plug it, and just change the oil regularly... but i really dont want to do that... any suggestions??

If it snaps off when trying to remove, find a bolt and screw it into the hole, tight enough so you can then pull on the bolt, and the rest of the tube will be pulled out by the bolts threads.

Take your time finding the right bolt. Not too big that you risk cracking the block, and not so small that it wont grab.

The dipstick tube for a small block ford will probably fit in the hole, but the legnth and depth of the dipstick probably will not be the same.
