I know this is an old post, but for others reading this.

The fill / level plug is at the side of the transmission!

It is a 17mm HEX (round) plug. Remove the plug and fill till fluid
is level with base of plug hole. (See image)

The plug on the top is the "Timing" hole, used to check ignition
timing.

Adding fluid through that hole will contaminate the clutch!
