Default topping up gearbox oil

hi just wonderd has anyone done this had a look at the gearbox today and the only place i can see to top up seems to be in the worst place possible to get to and the allen bolt does not want to undo . Is there another place to top up from that isnt right next the manifold?
any help or advice would be appreciated

There is a plug you need to unbolt, sure it's a decent size Allen plug. You'll need to top it up until fluid is level with the hole. Haynes manual should have a diagram.
