Question WP Fiesta manual gearbox oil change

Can someone tell me how to drain the oil from the gearbox and where the filler plug is to top it up again. I wouldn't normally do this but I need to replace the driveshaft oil seal. I can't see either a drain plug or a filler plug on this manual transaxle.

Well I found out the easy way (expensive way).. I paid a mechanic to do the job then asked him where the filler adn drain plugs were. Both plugs are inside the plastic cover at the front of the gearbox. This has a clip on cover and is the cover over the gear change linkage. The filler plug has a hexagon shaped recess that you would need a special tool or the right size allan key to fit. The drain plug has a square end on it.
