Not sure you have actually done what Lanny has suggested in post #8...get an identical SS bolt just like the one that you think went down the oil fill hole, and actually test it to determine if it is somewhat magnetic.
Keep looking, and good luck!!

Check, or recheck for possible places on top of Transmission, crossmembers, frame, etc, etc, where that bolt may be laying on top of, since it may not have made it all the way to the floor. Also, if that bolt did hit the flood, it may have bounced out quite a way from the area where it first hit the floor
