It is in the engine compartment. Find the injection pump. Look to the right and back from it. If you have an auto there are two dip sticks. The one you can see is the transmission and the oil is below it...about a few inches.

Lift the passenger seat, hook it onto the strap that is anchored with the shoulder belt; look at the engine, both the oil & tranny dip sticks will be in view; the bigger one should be the tranny, the smaller one should be the oil.

Actually its on top.
Its underneath the engine compartment bonnet. Those 2 clasps under the carpet on the front of the hump hold it down. Undo them both and lift up the passenger seat and lo and behold........2 dipsticks on the passenger side at the rear of the engine. That lil strap attached up on the pillar where the shoulder belt is hooks on the piece of metal on the side of the passenger seat. Now , I'll leave it up to you to figure out which one is oil, and which one is transmission.
Cheers
