Not much else you can do but plug the hole some how.

Theres going to be some pressure there (crankcase)so I would find a round peice of rubber that will fit in the hole.
Drill a hole through the center of it and put a bolt through the hole with a washer on both ends and then put a nut on it.
Insert it in the hole and tighten the bolt(hopefully the nut doesnt spin and you can squeeze the rubber enough this way to plug the hole tight.

Other wise jam the dip stick back in with some silicone around it and let it cure and hope for the best.

i ended up getting a bolt wrapped some electrical tape around it till it was a bit bigger than the hole then pressed in. Works for now no leaks just needs to last till end of tomorrow.. How much pressure can it get up to just out of curiosity? Thanks for your help btw.
