Are all 4g63 dipsticks the same?

Had some issues with my car making turbos leak and trying to figure it out.
It's a 6bolt, has a 91 filter housing and running the external cooler.
Put an old stock t3 on it and it leaked oil out the turbine hosing bolts. Feed it from the ofh with a restrictor, from the head, and even from the head with a restrictor...no change.

I had a holset sitting around, and it did the same thing except out the compressor housing.

Have a new, know good 6262 off my other car and stuck it on. Also leaked out compressor side. Tried restrictor everywhere on all of them no change.

Drain is a -10 off the turbo going to a stub of the stock oil pan fitting.

I pulled the part off the pan to check it for obstruction and while I was at it cut and angled it a bit more.

I did end up getting the oil problems to go away, even with the old stock 2.3ford t3.
But I have to run the oil o the low side of the good-to-go section on the dipstick.

Just wondering if this motor possibly has the wrong dipstick? The one on it does have the rubber seal at the top.

Thanks
