Think about it. With no dipstick in there, you are essentially leaving an open hole for oil to come into contact with all sorts of road grime.

Get a dipstick in there pronto.

That's not good. Check the oil and the pressure sending unit on the back, the plug might have been knocked loose removing O2 sensor wiring.

Aside from the obvious. Without a dip stick u run into oil pressure issues. Cause most engines run off of negative pressure. So introducing extra air in the system will cause issues.
