There is a little hole on the oil pan by the starter. That is where the dipstick goes in.

If you stand beside the passenger side fender and look through the a/c lines, I think you can see it in the dark with a flashlight lol. It's in the block, right above the oil pan.

There is a hole down there that it will go into in between the primaries. It is tough the first time to get back in, but when you find it you will shoot yourself.
