 This can be a real bugger...you can't see up there and you can hardly reach up there...but by all means don' t stick your finger in there to check the level. Dumb me, after years and years of working on cars as a hobby, I put my finger in there and it got stuck..I almost panicked. I finally worked it out and I'll never do that again... My friends said if I could hold my body rigid they would unscrew me...ha, ha..funny to them anyhow...So, if you want to check the level, use a Popsicle stick or something else other than your finger. Harbor freight sells a small pump you screw onto an oil quart bottle and you go to work. Really works well. Use 20W50 and stick the hose up in the hole and pump away until it runs out. Then put in the plug and clean up the mess... The pump is cheap and like most of their stuff is not made for continuous use, but for filling transmissions and rear ends in Jensen Healeys..and even in the rear end of my Interceptor, it does a bang up job.
Let us know how it works for you.
