My '76 w/727 trany has the sensor-type dipstick as well. I can't find an idiot light for it anywhere, but upon close inspection I could make out a 'full' line just above the oval slot at the tip of the dipstick where the sensor is located. Mine also leaks if I park driver's side low.
Hope this helps,

My '78 also has the diptstick with a sensor. I have included info from the Dodge service manual about the system (see below). The light is normally located just below the radio in the center of the dash. On mine there is a very dark red plastic strip that has room for several indicator lights. Only one is the warning light and it is difficult to see in daylight.
Excerpt from service manual:
"
Transmission Warning Light A transmission warning light is located on the instrument panel to alert the driver that the transmission requires servicing. The light indicates the fluid level is low.
Warning Light Operation Turn the key to the start position. The warning light should come on while cranking the engine and should go out when the key is released to the run position. If the light does not come on while cranking or failes to go out with the key in the run position, the warning system should be checked."
