Well, as the quest description says, talk to Kara Thricestar in order to catch a free ride to Bixie. No "finding" involved.
Though the free ride might have been added in a later patch, I wouldn't know.

Yes, I'm here on 3.1 ... Just walk out of the building after getting the quest ... Walk straight out to find the Kara plane flightmaster by the planes. Talk to her and she'll fly you to Bixie.

What to do
Description
You're a proven hero. I have another problem! My boss, Tinky, went east with Bixie Wrenchshanker and I CAN'T get the outgoing on this thing to work! Tinky's the only one that can fix it and we really need it working one-hundred percent. You think you could find them? Bixie said something about following some old magnataur to a place called The Dens of Dying. I'm guessing that's where you'll find them. You can catch a ride out there by talking with Kara Thricestar at the runway.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- What's the Matter with the Transmatter?
There're spare parts strewn all over to the east in the Scalding Pools, the Geyser Fields... heck, probably even up on the pumping station still, too. Bring back a whole bunch.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Oh Great... Plagued Magnataur!
Tinky and I came out here stalking some old magnataur. Apparently those caves up there are where they go to die. Of course, we had no idea that they were going to get plagued when they went in there. We can't have plagued things just roaming about; it's not healthy.
