Default gearbox oil questions

Hi all,
How do check the oil level in the gearbox? The workshop maual shows a dip stick but I have never seen it.
Exactly what gearbox oil should be in a 2.5 STI?

It's under the InterCooler .... looking from the front of the car to the engine, it is under the lefthand rear of the IC.

Word of warning - push hard on the dipstick when taking the reading ..... as it's easy to think there is no Oil in !!
