Sorry, cant help but coincidentally the dealer is taking my engine out to remove the timing cover as I type this.
So - if the front cover has to come off, the engine comes out.
Only suggestion I have is that IF you decide to do the deep dive and pay a mechanic to go in and find it: you could try to flush it out with a stream of new oil first.
If it comes out the drain plug, then story over. If it doesn't come out, where might it have gone?
