Diff in front part of gearbox, were drive shafts come out. Dip stick for gearbox is near the drivers side of the top mount, you also fill it at the same point.

Fills both mate buy yourself a small funnel to put in the top of the fill pipe and take it slow filling up. I usually over fill by about 10mm or so, they reckon it helps 3rd gear, no idea if it does. Having killed 5th gear 3 times I could do with a fix for that
