Doesn't some of the firmwares print the probing offsets into the console when doing the auto leveling? So you could just run the autoleveling procedure as normal and see from the console logs if your bed is tilted and which way. Maybe put removable sensor if you are doing the leveling rarely.

You mean like thus?
...
You hover the mouse over the probe point you are interested in to see the coordinates.

My printer is Cartesian and I only want Z to move from layer to layer. What I want is a way to (automatically) verify that bed is level before each print and preferably tell me which corner is offset and by how much. Per @Origamib recommendation I'll try switching firmware to Repetier and see how it goes.

The only real value in a pretty, brightly colored display of the bed shape is if you recognize what it is telling you- that your bed/printer sucks and you need to fix it.

Fixing the real problem isn't very difficult or expensive. All it takes is understanding what's going on and why, and having a desire to do something about it.
Or if you prefer, you can play whack-a-mole with the 4 "leveling" screws and generate lots of pretty colored graphs that you can rotate in 3D and kid yourself that you ARE doing something about it.
The difference between the two approaches is that if you fix the actual problem, you won't have to keep releveling the bed. A colored graph that you can rotate in 3D, while an impressive piece of programming, isn't necessary if your printer maintains the level settings from one print to the next. But what do I know? I just build 3D printers that rarely require releveling. Maybe people prefer to look at colorful 3D graphs and don't mind looking at them over and over and over again.

@cozmicray - I use a precision dial right now but I feel it could be almost fully automated...well if my bed had three lead screws with servo motors than it could be fully automated but that's probably too much...
