Oil around crankcase hose on driver side

[SAAUZ]

I have a 2022 Powerboost with around 66k km or 41k miles, and tow in the summers. I was checking the oil level the other day and noticed some oil around the area, last oil change was back in October and was uneventful, my mechanic didn't mention anything out of the norm. But now I noticed that the dipstick will not sit all the way in. What do you guys think this is from?

Hard to really tell what’s going on with this picture, but it would seem the dipstick or the tube is damaged. The dipstick not sitting flush is allowing crank case vapors to be released. That’s the origin of the oil collecting on the air intake plumbing and the shock tower.

Thanks, I took pic of the original dipstick location, after trying to put it in, in a couple different orientations it finally went in all the way, also noticed oily residue around the brake fluid reservoir.

Is it a good idea to get a professional engine wash with these hybrid engines?
