hi all ive noticed a slight weep from my drain bolt so I thought id check how much was in. I can see something that maybe the filler just below the breather its a hexagonal bolt that looks like a 20mm socket would fit it.
It's up high, about half way up, drivers side. It's an [strike]11mm [/strike] 10mm square, like the diff. You can get away with a 3/8 ratchet though. You will need a giant oil syringe thing to fill it though.

On the 8 Valve car the fill point is was on the offside of the gearbox.
On our 2007 car is is on the nearside of the gearbox and in both cases a pain to get at.
It is requires a 10mm square key to remove and I have rounded the socket on one of those plugs using a 3/8 square. Luckly on the front diff that was easy to get a chisel to fix it.
It is not worth the risk of saving some money and not buying a 10mm socket.
On the other hand cash now is always king to some people over the cost of getting things out whn you have rounded the socket.
