That was easy wasn't it.

I struggled with the dipstick for about 6 months.

Thanks for the rep.

I know this isnt the right forum to ask this but its on the same subject so someone may know?
Are E-350 cube vans the same to fix the dipstick?
Im looking at buying a 95 and the guy told me he jb welded around it to try and stop the leak but it still leaks.

So anyone know if its harder or easier to do a van?

Ken,

The flange is the same on the E350.

Guzzle offers a kit to fix the flange leak. Dieselorings Flange Kit

That's a pile of crap... as these guys said, it can be done with ONLY removing the starter. I did it in mine thinking it was the source of the leak but it's actually just the oil pan seal oozing a little. Kinda frustrating, but not bad enough to even consider pulling the motor over!
