  • 1 of 8: You aren't going to be able to lift the cover with your bare hands.
  • 2 of 8: You're going to need a tool designed for the job -- a dipstick.
  • 3 of 8: Have you seen anyone in the vicinity of the cafĂ© that has some tools at their disposal which we might procure somehow?
  • 4 of 8: Flobbage, the workman has a toolbox inside his little tent.
  • 5 of 8: But, you're going to need to find a way to distract him so you can take what you need.
  • 6 of 8: Once you've gotten Flobbage out of the way, you can have a go at his toolbox.
  • 7 of 8: Grab the dipstick from inside.
