If there are no leaks or havent been any i would say the level is ok.When was the last time you changed the fluid?You change the fluid every 50,000 miles on that car.To check the level is kind of tricky without a lift.You would have to put the car on four jack stands so its level.On the right side of the transmission where the axle comes out aka the passenger side you will see a plug with a 11mm head with the car idling and warm remove the plug fluid should come out the hole.That is the fill level hole.
