Default rear diff oil

Where do u find the dip stick for the rear diff oil? (easy if u know about these things) Also if it needs topping up can u just use normal Gear oil and what viscosity do u go for? MY97 Uk turbo.
Thanks in advance for any help guys.

has two plugs in the rear diff one on top of the other (when viewd from the rear bumper)
the top is a level and fill plug and the lower is a drain..................

75w90 will do the job nicely
