It is on the passenger's side of the engine near the back. It probably has a white or black handle on it.

To check your fluid park on a flat level surface. Get the transmission up to operating temperature. PLace the tranny in park then shift to reverse (hold in reverse for 3-5 seconds), then shift to neutral (hold it there for 3-5 seconds) then shift to drive and hold it there for 3-5 seconds. Then shift back to park but stopping in all the gears for 3-5 seconds again. Then check your level. Add fluid into the dipstick tube if required.
