Yup, the tip of my dipstick just broke off. Fished for it in the pan no luck. Have not started and do not intend too. I search for a thread for pan removal with no luck. Can someone shed so much need light? It looks as if I need to lift the engine, but thought I'd ask first......DOH!
yeah i think you need to drop the K-member.... that takes like 2 hours alone, have fun with that project. Be thankful you dont have a Strut Tower brace like I do, or you'd have to take that off too which is another PITA lol

by fishing for it I guess you put a magnet on a coathanger, drained the oil
and put the magnet up through the drain hole , but it may be stuck
inside the dipstick tube so also stick the coathanger in the tube and move it
around in a circular motion to knock it free.
I was wondering......... how did you break the tip off anyway?
i think all u need to do is to hang engine, and drop K. I think u'll have clear shot to all the bolts. But then its been awhile since i had my Kmenber off...
When I did this, I just unbolted the engine mounts, jacked the engine up a bit, and wedged some wood between the block and the mounts. I had just enough room to work with.
