There is a small pipe threaded plug on the drivers side of the tranny about half way up the body and around the rear center from front to rear. When removed,fluid should flow from the hole(providing the vehicle is level on all axises), if not, fill to top of the hole with new gearoil or tranny fluid whichever is specified in your manual.

This is a BIG job, requiring removal of the dashboard, discharging the a/c system, and removing the heater/airconditioning unit from the car (a big box with the evaporator, heater core, blower fan, and various doors that direct airflow). If you want to DIY, there are several videos on YouTube for similar models - you can view those to get an idea of what is involved.

If this question is with regards to a fault code of P0441, the following applies.Basically this means that there is a problem in the EVAP system. The computer will command the purge control valve open and if it does not sense the right amount of vacuum then it will set this code.The purge valve is part of the EVAP system. The purpose of this system is to take all of the excess fuel vapor from the gas tank and store it until it can be burned in the engine. If it weren't for this system then all of those vapors would be vented into the atmosphere. Usual causes for this code:Faulty Purge Control SolenoidFaulty Purge Control ValveDamaged Wiring to the Purge SolenoidOther possible causes:Faulty ComputerRestriction in the EVAP SystemFaulty Vacuum Switch
