Seriously, an 1/8 of an inch difference in dipstick level is well within the normal margin of error for a dipstick -- there could be a bit more oil clinging to the engine than there was the last time you checked the oil, etc.
Just think of what you're using as an instrument to check your level. It's a mechanical device with quite a large range of "normal" parameters.
