Is that a hole through the wall of the tube or just a change in internal diameter?
Either way it sounds odd. Pic? |

The red plastic end bit is prone to breaking off the metal part, if you suspect cracks replace quickly before it happens

Make sure you compare the length from the plastic rim stop at the top of the dispstick to the max/min and cross hatch markings; if you fill the oil to the maximum on the newer version it would actually be overfilled by at least 0.5L , apparently too much oil in the sump can then cause problems with the crankcase oil seal.
