It asked the same question a couple of years back and the response was that it was very difficult to get a good indication of the oil level. The best idea is to drain and refill it.
You have to fill the gearbox through the reversing light sensor.Alternatively you can remove the fifth gear cover on the side of the gearbox and fit a filler plug there,making it much easier to do an oil change,which I would recommend as these gearboxes are prone to fifth gear failure.Use full synthetic oil and add a teflon additive. Finally stick a powerful magnet on the cover,it may save you a fortune if the fifth gear disentegrates stopping all the mashed up metal going into the main gearbox.
you can try wynns gear leak stop-it thickens oil and swells the seals.
Check engine mounts (damaged or broken) if they are ok then check for oil contamination on clutch plate.
remove the black plastic breather (17mm) and refill with 2lt of gear oil after draining the old oil from the gearbox using the drain plug on the bottom of the box (21mm)
