I think Per Pelican it's 11mm below the hole for the 986 5 speed and all the way up for the 6..
You can improvise a dipstick of sorts with a piece of bendable metal or some heavy gauge house wire. Keep it plenty long so there's no risk of dropping it in.
I gave the Bentley manual to my friend who now owns my 01, otherwise I'd be more certain... a little searching online might reveal the correct answer.
EDIT: Here's Pelican's take on it (scroll down to the third grayed box) :
