If it isn't, I may just cut it off and worry about it later. It descends into the engine just above the starter. I'll get pictures if I can, but i'm just not sure what to do about it.
I don't recall exactly indicating it is a non-issue. There is a very sturdy short dipstick tube that bolts to the top of the engine. The plastic tube at the top by the coolant reservoir is self supporting, so just lower engine gradually & you will see when & how to separate the tubes.
