my only idea would be to either have a friend read it or just run you finger down it until you feel the fluid then see where it is i dont know if id bother with dyes, my dad is color blind and i mean cant see any colors and what he does is pull it out then put it in the light or shine a bright light on it to see the reflection hope this helps.

How about pulling the stick and putting some powder on it? Seems like even baby powder would show enough to see a difference.

FWIW I got some super tech trans fluid at walmart, one gallon jug and it was almost clear, I could hardly see that on the stick.
