if you crawl under the vehicle, on the back of the trans pan is a bolt you can remove, and if you have a special dipstick that you buy separately for this sole purpose, you can stick it in there to check levels.

You don't need a disptick, you just fill it until it starts coming out of the hole. Lots of heavy equipment works this way.

You just check it with your finger. Then you use a container with a tube and squeeze the fluid in until it overflows.

And if you manage to position yourself right you can get a face full of gear oil.

Note: make sure you're further away than you think you have to be, oil doesn't always flow how you'd expect.
