Assuming your car is an original small block car, you should have an 8" (9" if it was a 351 4bbl or larger) rear. They don't have covers, or drain plugs. You'll have to suck out the gear oil or remove the center section to change it.

Yeah, I've added fluid to mine. It is on the pass side, and it is a plug the screws into the hogs head section. To get the fluid out, you will have to hit the parts store for a small pump, but you might just need to add some oil and be all right.
EDIT: I said the plug is on the pass side, but I'm not totally sure which side it is. Sorry, but it is easy to spot once you are under there.
