You just have to be at the right angle and you'll see the hole it went in...find the bolt hole on the head that it attached to, and follow the imaginary line down to the block. You'll see it...sometimes it helps to have someone underneath to guide it in.

A flashlight shined in about the middle of the block on that side from the top should show you where it is...the hole will be staring right at you. There isn't anything else that looks even close to being able to take the dipstick...just look at it while standing along the passenger side fender.

You just have to hold your mouth right.

Like Meent said, get someone underneath there and it'll drop right in. It's kind of a pain to do it by yourself. Ask me how I know...
