Filling hole is on the front of the gearbox, you'll need to remove the air filter assembly, it'll either have a thumb-turn type plug or a large hex nut.

You fill until it pour out of this hole as the bottom of the hole is the fill level.

Just use normal gear oil from your local motor factors unless you plan on really abusing the box.
