If it is an automatic there is a small red cap on the transmission itself under where the air filter box is. You will need a long funnel to not spill. You can check the level by running the engine and removing a small plug under the transmission. If the fluid is trickling out it is full, if it is pouring it is overfilled.
To check the transmission fluid on a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero, start the engine and let it warm up to operating temperature. With the transmission in "Park," locate the transmission dipstick, usually found near the back of the engine. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then pull it out again to check the fluid level. The fluid should be between the "Full" and "Add" marks; if it's low, add the appropriate type of transmission fluid as specified in the owner's manual.
