It is common for the oil level to drop in the sight gauge when the engine is started, sometimes it will pull down far enough where you can't see it. To check for proper oil level, lower the 3pt, park on a level surface, shut off engine and let oil level stabilize for at least 5 minutes. Oil level should be between the marks on the sight tube. Good luck.
