Run your hand down the oil dipstick tube until you meet the crankcase.
Feel forward about 2" towards the front of the engine and you'll feel
it.
You can't see it.

I have problem to spell

Believe me, Krax, with the way successive British Governments have
screwed up the basic education in this country, your English spelling
is superior to many of our younger generation  :(
