As you look at the gear case cover, the lowest one is the drain screw and has a copper washer not a steel washer. The level screw is the next one up on the right and also has a copper washer.

Do not overtighten these screws as it will crush the washer an it will in fact leak.

If the washers are well crushed it's worth replacing them.

It's 50ml for plastic and 100ml for narrow steel gears and 75 for the thicker ones.

Don't worry about overfilling as it'll get blown out of the vent if it foams.

Fill via the plastic vent cap on the top of the gear case.

15/40 is the specified I think but I always used ATF without any problems.
