Help me find my dip stick tube hole!
I've looked for hours from above, and crawled under the damn car and can't seem to find the hole this bitch came out of! Any help is greatly appreciated.

Start looking for your #8 spark plug... you'll trip all over the dipstick tube looking that far back in the engine bay.
Seriously, it's about midway on the passenger side of the engine.

I've felt around and tried to look but haven't had any luck. :\ Ive managed to find that hole once before by feeling and thought it'd be easy this time, but no. Where is it in relation to the hole in the head that holds the tube in? Directly below? Toward rear of car? Front of car?

Toward the rear of where it mounts to the head if i remember correctly. Lay under the car on the passenger side with a bright light. It goes into the oil pan right below where the pan bolts to the block...i think....its hard to remember. You can kind of see where the casting bulges out of the oil pan where it goes into it. Its a blind hole so you will have to feel for it, but much easier to find when you are under the car...you cant see it from the top.

its right by the starter, just feel around its a bitch to get back in but once you find it have a friend hold the tube in place and push really hard from the top of the engine until you feel it click or lock into place.

If you stand beside the passengerside fender and look closely through the A/C lines and ****, you can usually find it with a good enough flashlight.
