Repair shop said oil is leaking from the dip stick and has to be replaced. Is this possible? Never heard of such a thing.

Unfortunately this is a common thing with these vehicles. Be sure to ask for what’s left of the old one if you have concerns of being ripped off.

Thanks, will ask for the old one. The mechanic showed us the old one and said the rubber "O" ring on the bottom part was cracked.

Do you have any pictures or a video you can upload here about the repair so we can see what's going on?

Maybe business was lying?
