Oil Dipstick Reading Screwed

[insomniac]

Hi all, I recently discovered that I get a different reading (oil level) on each side of the dipstick.

The dipstick tapers into a flat surface at the bottom, with the relevant level markings - "Max" and "Min" - on each side. One side shows a level somewhere halfway between Max and Min. The other side shows a level way above Max.

It's as though the engine is slanted! The dipstick is not bent but, my engine mountings are bad and need to be replaced.

Could it be because of the mountings or...?

Thanks.

See how it reads after a long sit.
Just pull the stick out after an overnight sit and read it.
