There will be a hole behind the speaker on the right hand side. This
hole provide access to the gearbox dipstick. You may need quite a bit
of force to get the dipstick out if it hasn't been removed in a while.
You can use the same hole for filling up the gearbox using a suction
gun (a big syringe). I use straight 30W oil for this.

Check where the leak is. If it's the rear seal it's easy to fix.
