Sizes of O-Rings on front differential dipstick?

The dipstick on my front diff doesn't seem to have a good seal and keeps popping up, causing a little smoke to come out front under the hood...

Advance Auto Parts has several replacement O-Rings in varying sizes, and I was wondering what the sizes were for the o-rings at the top and bottom of the dipstick?

Thanks!

O-Rings

Just get the pack w/various sizes you'll have the rest for something else like the O-Ring under the power steering reservor.

Hmm... I'd find that smoke a bit worrisome. Is the diff lube overflowing?

Re: Re: Sizes of O-Rings on front differential dipstick?

No overflow. But the dipstick doesn't seem to have a tight seal and has popped out once. When it popped off, it caused some diff fluid to burn off which caused the smoke.

It hasn't smoked since, but I just want to take care of it before the o-ring totally wears out...

P.S. When I go to svxfiles' place next weekend to do my 4.11 diff swap, I may just swap a front diff dip stick from one of the blown 4EAT's he has lying around.
