yes you have one, and it is held in by one 10mm bolt. look to the left of the oil pump and below the gear that the timing chain is on. its near the bottom of the case.

make sure you also check the screen thats in the bottom oil line where it connects to the oil tank. that one can get pretty clogged as it is very fine mesh.
