Help!Checked My Oil.

and found dipstick was twisted at the end. (I bought it used) Put dipstick back in as hard and far as it would go. Today I pulled into garage and car engine block was smoking. Could oil be coming out of the dipstick tube?

the dipstick in the g35 is really f*ck up,

Yes it's all bend up at the end from factory. If you can, try to clean the little plastic part fixed to the engine that guide the insertion of the dipstick. That part is allways dirty and when you push the dipstick in it will scrape all the dirt over there in your engine, not really good...

I can provide pics if you want but it should be pretty clear when you see it
