No clue if you are serious or not.

In case you are, front of block, towards the right (left as you are standing in front of it).
It's kind of hidden, down between the accessory belts.

Wow, that was a bit brutal.

I have two pics showing where the dipstick is at. It's probably just missing or something.

Good luck!

Yeah, I was / am leaning towards a fake troll. If I'm wrong, then mea culpa. Someone who can't find out how to check the oil has bought the wrong car though IM0.
