Karl,
the dipstick tube is pressed onto a sleeve which is screwed into the tranny case and sealed with copper washer. Since the tube is fixed with intake manifold I don't see any way for it to become loose at the bottom end (until it goes cracked).
If you think your engine is sweating with oil, then do the compression test and also check your crankcase pressure (insert the T-connector with pressure-vacuum gauge into the thin line not far away from that nipple on the engine cover).
Good luck,
Zig
