Here's a picture of the location of the dipstick tube on my 1975 1.8. Looks like you have the penetration through the tin but are missing the tube and dipstick. Needs a bit more investigation on your part to find out what the story is. Just to let us confirm what your engine is post a picture of the case number. The back story on this engine might also help us help you. There is definitely some funky stuff going on there. Never a good sign to see duct tape....
