Take the dipstick tube and in the area where it should fit tight in the block, use a center punch and go all around it making dimples like a golf ball. How deep and how many depends on how loose it is. Clean the block hole with brake kleen on a rag and clean the dimpled area with brake kleen and let dry. Coat the dimples 100% with Loctite of some kind, red or green preferred and drive it back into the block using a punch on top of the hex area where it is solid. Let sit overnite or longer to cure. I don't know what your other oil leak is....cannot see a pic.

I agree, I don't see the leak either? Is it below the pump?

Yes I believe it’s above the pump in the crack and goes down on the wall inside pump And then on the floor. saw the bolts up front and they were loose so I tighten up up but still leaks
Think seal is broken and was wondering if anyone had ideas to try bc I think only way to do it right is to take whole
Engine out and remove radiator and hood? Just looking for advice before I do a whole bunch of work that I don’t have to

The black paint always makes it harder to see the source, clean it up and look for the highest point where the leak starts. Another thing that sometimes gets overlooked is to be sure the blow-by tube is not restricted with a bug nest, mud or kinked.

If the bolts was loose on front plate, that is the leak. Gasket gets worked out, and later will crack oil pan. Replace dowel pin and rebuild dowel pin holes in front plate or replace. MACK

Easiest is too remove grille, radiator then crank pulley to get to that seal - check bolt holes and use lock tite on the bolts

F Y I; Red loctite was used at the engine plant on the dipstick adaptor to the block.

If the dowel pins and holes are worn, nothing but new parts will hold it. Then if it has a loader or is used on rough terrain where axel bottoms out on stops, it will happen again. MACK

Your intolerance to and resentment of this oil leak is a little disturbing. For me it would be more worrisome to have no leaks as I would then be concerned I would be out of oil.  Just messing with ya. Hopefully it won't be too involved to get it stopped. My experience is 50/50 as in half the time it leaks worse after I try to stop it.
