Default Rearend Fluid Change Question

Hey, I got a 2000 rearend out of a car a guy was putting a 12 bolt in. The install into mine went fine, but as Im ready to fill it up with fluid.. theres no fill plug on the cover. I cant find anything searching forums about it, Im probably just an idiot ( never mess with rearends ). Does anyone know where the heck Im supposed to fill it up with fluid? The only thing I found was the breather will pop off, and could use that hole, but not sure if its correct level or what. Weird, never seen a rearend with no fill plug on the diff cover.

Thanks!!

The stock 10 bolts don't have a filler hole. The best place I know to explain it is at this link (http://www.installuniversity.com/ins...id_install.htm) if you go to number 9 and check out figure 8 it shows the fill plug.

This is one of the first things I bought for my car and it makes things so much easier for how cheap it was to buy!
