Hi
I accidentally drop a small plastic pipe inside the engine, trough the oil level check pipe.
What can I do to remove it?
Will it cause problem to my engine?

Thanks

Why don't you pull the dip stick tube off and see if it's inside of it? If not, maybe it will be sitting right at the base where the tube connects to the engine.

He's telling you to remove the whole tube and check inside when it's out of the car.

The oil dipstick push it in. In case I leave it in will it get burn and stuck on something?
Will it get on the oil filter or the oil pump?

You don't want to leave that in there, especially if it's plastic.
