*HELP* Dipstick broke off in oil pan

-
If it's laying in the sump shaped like a horseshoe I wouldn't sweat it, really, it already went for the ride around the crank, it didn't trash anything other than itself, trust me the engine will be fine for another 150000 miles. Just get another dipstick and keep on truckin'.
 
This. It isn't bent cuz of the pan holding it.
It took a ride already.
If you can see it with the scope, get the magnet on a stick and feed it in the drain plug hole and fish an end of it out then you can pull the rest of it out. Will take some fiddling around but it will happen.
Then no worries!
 
Drain the oil.... Borescope it..... Try to fish it out with a good magnet.. But I wouldn't leave it in the motor... Just my 2 cents...

I had the same thing happen to me. But I had 4 pieces in the pan. Two were small. You might want to get that piece out and measure length against another stick.
