No Dipstick?

I am putting a Y8 block in my crx and for some reason I can't seem to find where the dipstick is going to be. On my old Z6 block it was right in the front. Does it go through the valve cover?

Re: No Dipstick?

its int he same place as all the d/b blocks, the dipstick tube probably got pulled out, it comes out pretty easily

No there is not even a hole. I would have noticed. Any other ideas?
