Engin compartmet drivers side ther should be an object take the lide off and you should see your brake fluid level.
It depends, if the unit,convertor,lines and cooler are all dry and the unit does not have the deep pan it will hold about 12qts. If you are just changing the fluid and filter only and it's not the deep pan about 4qts will do it.
Pull the dipstick handle out of it's holder and get a funnel that fits into the dipstick hole and fill it.
The front seal of the tranny needs replaced, the tranny will have to come out to replace it.
you have to drop the entire pan since there is no plug and you might as well change the filter and gasket while you have it off
Best to drain existing oil,measure it then add new trans oil. Better yet, use the right oil, which would be motor oil, not transmission fluid. The amount to use is stamped on the engine case. (850cc)
== == Sounds likle your transmission is in trouble. You could try having it serviced (change the trany fluid and filter) and see if that helps. If no help you probably need to rebuild the transmission. You could always try to find a good used one. Wrecking yard maybe or find a good one in another car. Good luck.
