Isn't the dipstick on the 35d somewhat hidden, and not easy to access? Does some panel or part need to be removed, to even access the dipstick?

Nah, it's just awkward. It's on the left side of the engine (right side looking at the engine from the front). Horizontal, located under the air intake "hose" about 1/2-3/4 towards the back if I remember right.
