I Suggest you get a small plug from Advance Auto Parts or somewhere to plug the oil hole with, until you get it fixed, or else oil will leak everywhere..

Nah, you can go to Advance Auto Parts, or Auto Zone, and get a nice shiny chrome dipstick for $15.00, Im actually replacing my dipstick this weekend, because mine broke too.
