Question Differential fill bolt

Which bolt do i need to undo to fill the differential or at least check the fluid. It looks like it has been leaking so i need to check but it doesn't say in the manual which bolt to undo and the is so much crud on the diff. i can't see any markings.

if your working on the front differential the plug is on the front cover.
if your working on the rear differential the plug is on the drivers side of the differential.
hope this helps you find them

It depends on the manufacturer. The Dana 80 is on the passenger side of the inspection plate.

Is there so much mud and grit on the inspection plate that you can't find the plug? Scrape around - a little more than halfway up - and you'll find it.
