1971 650 bonny. oil in frame. just got the bike and noticed that the dipstick is gone or maybe never was one. when looking in frame, where should the oil level be at? should it be visible? again my first triumph.

Also, try all this on the vintage forum - a lot of guys there with the older, more problematic Triumphs.
