Dipstick tube leaking

2004 sportsman 600. Leaking oil from dipstick tube. Replaced the oring with oe part and an aftermarket one, even tried to use silicone. Still no luck. Any one had this problem? If so what's the fix?!?!?

cant remember but if you remove it and clean it up, then plug one end and blow in it or put a little air to it youll find it, seems like it was up around the mounting tab

Well the tube isn't cracked. But where the hold down clamp goes it shows some signs of wear as well as the clamp itself. So I'm gonna order a new tube and clamp and cross my fingers!!
