Yep, This is what happened to me I think. Had a leak I thought. Checked the stick and it was down. Topped it up and shazzam never happened again, not a spot! Mark right up to max. But as long as I have you here.
Wouldn't you think they could have found a better color for the end of a dipstick than brown. My Cad has that same reddish brown color on the tip. Is this some kind of practical joke by the engineers. My Jag's stick is white. Were these things white once? What gives?
