On the driver side, up above the oil filter theres a block off plate that you can unbolt and tap. Its filtered and pressurized too!

no pics, but most people, including myself, drill and tap the plate directly above the filter and use a 3/8 npt x -4 an fitting. almost looks like it was meant for it

edit: 1 minute too late haha
