Grab an old plug lead boot -Plug end - Straight type. Force this over the end of the dip stick & refit so that it becomes a seal & retainer.

Secure the clamp on the tube with an eyelet to put the spring through. Attach the spring to the dipstick. The spring is easily detached when you need to check oil levels. I had this setup on my last two race cars and had no problem.
I've used both these methods and they work well......for some reason on my present motor, the dipstick is very hard to push down the tube and will not pop out, even at 7000rpms.........

The spring method works well, but the spark plug boot method looks better to me..
