I cant seem to be able to find the drain plug, or the fill hole? Just don't want to screw this up.

The drain is that silver snakey hose that comes out of the bottom and wraps around the top. Just unhook it, pull the hose below the level of the bottom of the SC and then unscrew the cap.

Ok so how do you fill it? i only see to brass fittings that are screwed in at the top of the supercharger. do you have to unscrew one of these to fill it? it looks like you need a torx screwdriver to remove it

Yes, you have to remove one of the brass fittings. I'm pretty sure a hex/allen wrench will fit, I don't think you have to use a Torx bit.

I would assume you could use either the vent plug or the dipstick plug. My recommendation is the dipstick plug as it would be easier to check the fluid level when filling up.
