There is a rubber plug on the rear of the cover. Remove it and the gear lube should be to the top of the bottom of the hole. To service, remove the cover, drain all gear lube and clean as much as you can. I believe it takes a standard GL-5 gear lube, but confirm that with the parts store.

Let me know if you have other questions.
