Do you mean drain bolt? You can fill it though the dipstick hole to my knowledge

auto trans should be a large bolt head with ATF written on it, dead center top of transmission when looking from top
MT would be on side of trans midway up

You can fill auto thru the dipstick but its way slower- tiny hole

TL manual transmissions have their fill bolts at the top of the case just below the ribbed throttle body coupling, not the side of the case. Unless there has been a change from the 04-'05 models to present ones.

You can make your own fill tool to fill it back up from the dipstick tube.

You need to buy a foot long brake line which will fit int he dipstick tube.

then you buy a funnel

you connect the brake line to a rubber hose to the funnel. You can use 2 zip-ties to hold it all together or use 2 small metal hose clamps. This invention will run you $10-20 bucks and saves you a ton of time.

It's on the top of the transmission. It's very, very tight, so you will need a 1/2" drive six-point socket and a long breaker bar.
