My '87 Prelude has an access hole in the engine compartment on the passenger's side. It is located on top of the transaxle and is a bit difficult to reach. It is a 1" diameter, silver colored, metal cap with a raised tab about 1/2" high, bisecting the center of the cap. Mine is accessed by reaching down about 15" below the top of the engine, almost midway between the firewall and radiator, but about 12" rearward of the radiator. It is located about 8 inches from the passenger side fender well and you will be best served by removing the air intake assembly tube which comes from the air filter. YOU WILL HAVE TO REACH DOWN NEAR THE UPPER RADIATOR HOSE which has burned my arm when accessing the cap on a warmed-up engine. I use a funnel with a long tube to do the refill. THE TRANSAXLE CAP HAS A BUILT IN DIP STICK ABOUT 2" LONG. You remove the cap, wipe off the dipstick and put the cap back but do NOT screw it back in. Just let the cap touch the top of the transaxle and then pull it up to see the fluid level.
