Is the bottom of the timing case on a 12v the oil pan?

Was wondering this, if someone dropped a bolt or something near the cam and it slid down the timing case would it land in the oil pan?

Pretty sure there is a lower cover for the chain which is not linked to the sump. I would suggest using a magnet to try and pull out your bolt. You may be forced to remove the lower cover but to get access you will need to undo the engine mounts and jack it up
Hope that helps
