Cmed once under the car look for the biggest Nut directly in the middle towards the front (engine side) of the gearbox. 17mm or 19mm i cant remember. It is the only large size bolt on the gearbox, this is the drain plug.
To top up use a spout type 1litre or funnel and place this into the dipstick tube of the gearbox, left hand side of the engine it is a metal type.
Remember to torque the nut when threading back on >> 44NM
Approx 4 litres usually.
Hope that helps

look for the nut near the down pipe, its up inside the big hole in the plastic gaurd. 22mm socket to undo, few pictures to help you find it, think yours will be the same,
then to refil get a funnel and put some hose onto it then stick it inside theo the dipstuck tube, below the intercooler, then refill slowly, 3.5 - 4ltrs
