There is a round plug with an allen key bit on the front by the gearbox mount you unscrew it, fluid pisses out then refill.

do it from above with a funnel and bit of hose, or a bendy filtered funnel.
try to get car jacked up at front when filling it as you can get a little more in which it will appreciate.

you'll have to remove the intercooler to crossover pipe, possibly the airbox etc, easier to find from underneath, easier to fill from above (i found anyway)
