Hydraulic dip stick broken
The dip stick on the screw in cap for the hydraulic system tank on our new to us 2003 Monaco Diplomat has broken. It's broken where the large plastic necks down to approximately 1/4 inch (bottom of the cap). Would someone please provide the following dimensions:
total length of the dip stick (bottom of screw on cap to end of dip stick)
length to the full oil level mark
length to the low oil (add) level mark
With these dimensions I can fabricate a replacement dip stick for the hydraulic storage tank. If anyone has any idea as to how to remove the broken piece of plastic dipstick would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There is a good chance the dip stick is in the tank .
Mine is a Nelson tank and the cap is actually an expanding type plug
that looks like a screw on cap .
When a person doesn't realize how it works they can keep trying to
unscrew the cap and the dip stick will fall into the tank .
Your tank may be different .
There has been many threads in the past about it and here is one

My cap looks like this

Sorry, I was not clear and referenced the incorrect hydraulic system on our coach. My bad ! 
The tank and system I meant to reference is the system serving the hydraulic jacks for the leveling system. it is located on drivers side near the rear wheel. Inside the door panel are the air conditioning fan, fuel filter and the hydraulic tank and pump for the hydraulic jacks.
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
