If you are talking of Voltage regulator, this thing is still enclosed with another metal box under the hood. This is based only on my first car 1978 Datsun 180B.You still have to open other metal box under the hood. Usually placed on the side near the fender. This should not be visible easily because of being a delicate electrical part. Hope you find it then

Check connections

If none of the gauges work it may be a cluster ground bad or loose or the instrument cluster regulator is bad .

Clean the area well with gas or a spray cleaner/degreaser where you know it's leaking from. Since you don't want to go through the proper repair by removing the oil pan to replace the gasket, do this instead. After the area is clean and dry, tighten all the oil pan bolts first. Then get a tube of black RTV and put some on the end of your finger that reaches the spot the best and push the RTV into the area between the oil pan, gasket, and block. Make sure it's well covered to plug the leaky gasket and let the RTV cure. Shortly, your leak ahs been stopped. I personally do this myself to stop that same leak on my Chevy 383 I put in my Motor Home so I don't have to drop the pan. And it works.
