somewhat of an odd queston
if you suspect that there is a possibility there is a leaky head gasket, and want to check for coolant in the oil, but the person lacks a dipstick for the time being, is there any other way to check?

Yea those dipsticks can be really expensive to replace..
How about just peeking around inside the oil filler plug & see if anything looks fishy?

Sometimes you can take the filler cap off and look for white slime inside it.
