That's all there is to it...

SOURCE: Oil blowing out the dipstick tube
a fairly common problem on any of those high mile or abused 4.0liter engine either #1 your PCV ventilation tubes are plugged those are thos small black lines comming out of your valve cover or #2 your getting really bad blow by in your valves. 1 being easy to do and 2 not so easy!!
SOURCE: oil dip stick
Had the same problem last year - the plastic handle broke off and the
top of the remaining plastic was visible down the tube but was stuck
solid. Finally used an easy-out to get it out. Drilled a small hole
into the plastic and then threaded a thin easy-out bit into the hole
and it held enough for me to pull the dipstick out. Stupid design, a
plastic handle on a metal dipstick!
Here in Canada the Intrepid is badged as a Chrysler. Sounds a bit dodgey to me :-)

SOURCE: How do I replace the oil dipstick tube?
The dipstick can be pulled out of the block with a pair of vicegrips and the new one driven down into the block. Before trying to pull the dipstick tube out make sure it is not held onto the block with a small bolt.
Push it in till it sticks, remove half way (so 1/4) of travel turn dipstick 180 degrees then push in if jambs again try 1/4 way out & turn 90 degrees. Sounds stupid but this normally works with vehicles haveing trouble getting dip stick in. Just don't force to much.
