A few of us have purchased the endoscope in the link, or ones similar to it. I used it and it saved me ~4 hours worth of work as I was able to see around a corner and underneath some metal, which without the scope would be impossible. You could use something like this and look up into the oil pan for the washer, just to be sure.
If you find it in the pan, don't bang your head as you shout "OH YA BABY!"

I noticed it is on sale for $10 off at the moment of this post.

Conventional wisdom was a washer left down in the oil pan when installing a new oil flange adapter was no problem. Many people did that. But I think it was @PriusLover who had a washer end up in a bad place, getting ground up by the crank. Pure bad luck. Thought I had a pic of it but cannot find it atm.
