Dip stick

I have a 94 f250 460.
Is there a nut on the tube that holds the dip stick to the oil pan?
I have a bad leak...
Thanks

Nope, press fit. Quick cure is to pull the tube, clean the outside of the tube and the inside of the pan hole with a degreaser, put silicone on the tube and reinstall. The silicone will be kept soft enough by the oil to keep the leak sealed, but it will come apart when you want it to.
