Default Gearbox oil leak....

Hi guys another question again, just wondered where and how I top up the gearbox oil on a 1.3 Mk5 fiesta?? It's had a very slow leak since I had my clutch sorted back in august and still seems to shift like butter but until I can afford repairs I could do with topping it up. I was also wondering if I could actually repair the seal with something, the bloke at the garage when the clutch was replaced said it needs a new seal but a few of my mates and seen on here that there's a special liquid that can fix it, sort of like those temporary puncture repair sealants? If you could let me know that would be great!

Plug on the front of gearbox about halfway up, 6 or 8mm allen key from memory. Remove plug squirt oil in until it comes back out. As for the leak it depends what is leaking. My guess is a driveshaft oil seal.
