Have you had any work done on the box? the pipe is a push fit at the bottom and then has a small bracket which bolts it in place, i've seen one or two that havent had the bracket refitted and are just pushed on, maybe yours has come loose

Yeah, twisting it as you insert in ( where have I heard that before  ) usually does the trick .
However, dipstick fitment is not crucial the dipstick tube should be covered up to prevent ingess of dirt and stuff.

Cheers, only had car 2 months, think previous owner had a recon auto box fitted. Eveything about the box is good (No judders etc) Thanks highlander will check the bracket fitment later, can you get to it from top of engine or is it an underneath job?
