two notes:

1 - you don't have to remove the air intake duct to get to the dipstick - just pull/push the intercooler ducting aside and reach in. Your hand/arm may get a bit dirty so don't wear your suit shirt :)

2 - don't trust the colour of the fluid against the dipstick. Wipe the dipstick with a piece of stark white paper (like computer printer paper) so you can really see the colour. Beware of fluid that looks /too/ good too - The PO may have changed it 10 miles ago to cover a problem. Ask about it anyway.
