Sure, the fill plug is on the side of the transmission near the CV axle output which is checked much like a manual transmission is done. It looks like a 15mm or 16 mm allen will remove the plug, the drain plug is on the bottom of the transmission case. Here is the type of fluid to be used and the procedure for checking and draining the fluid. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
