Drivers side, up about halfway up the case. It should take a 1/2" socket wrench to open it. Your best bet is to just change the fluid and fill it through the shifter.

I am far from mr know it all so i could be wrong did you just say drivers side???? if this is a t-5 you just had him pull the reverse pin/plug something like that and good luck getting it in correct now! the correct location is passenger side one plug below one above unscrew top one fill till it till fluide comes out wait for it to stop coming out once it stops you are good to go.hope u read this before you pull the reverse out i know this cause dumb ****s at jiffy lube did it to me!
