Nope. Not just you.

I think you will be able to see it okay...especially if you poke around in there with a piece of clothes hanger or something safe like that you will feel it laying in there. You can also remove the low OIL LEVEL switch and have a bigger hole to look through. If all else fails, borrow a Bore Scope. Those things are the bomb!!
