tranny dipstick melted!!!

Ok i go to check the fluid and the thing break right off. I pull it out with pliers and it looks like it melted!! Has the heat marks(color change) on it and everything. It broke in two spots. One right below the pull thing, the other an inch below that. WTF happened!! The tranny is fine, fluid is good, the damn dipstick just melted. I do have a blown exhaust donut, could that be putting too much heat out?

Thanks,

Matt
