Dipstick Options - Pan and Block Not Tapped

Hey guys,

Wondering what options I have for dipstick or other means of determining oil level. Block is from an '04 Rainer. Pan is the GTO style I believe. Neither seem to have provisions for a dipstick.

That is so odd no dip stick. On a stock Rainer due to packaging was the dip stick was built into the oil pan? Maybe a salvage yard dive and a look at both iron blocks and alum blocks to see the placement of the dip stick.
Just a note in regards in the pic above with the oil filter the block off plate it needs to circulate oil from what I understand.
