I think the reason theres no xmsn fluid indicator is the oil is really getting thrown around in there and it may give false readings. If youve ever watched a sight glass in a gearbox with the rotors turning youll know what i mean.
Thats the problem with using a sump as a reservoir
Theres also the problem of blocked jets and oil starved bearings which would not be picked up by a fluid level.
