In addition to the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, and Noah's Ark, finding where is the dipstick on my 1995 Integra was about as elusive.
After Googling for 1/2 hour, I found very few directions, and none of which were very helpful. I also spent another 1/2 hour trying to find a photo of it. It does not exist -- not even in the Chilton Manual.
BUT, with perseverence, I did find it. Amazing. Now, actually taking it out was another adventure. In none of the directions for finding it, did anyone happen to mention that, if you indeed found it, to pull it out by hand, you had to take the top of the air filter housing off, and lift up the air intake hose first.
Anyway, when I did find it, I decided to do what none had done before -- take a photo of it.
Look directly in ther middle of this photo and you will see a yellow-orange loop attached to a very short stick:
