I dont think you'll be able to see it unless you're underneath the car, you'll have to take off the splash guard and lie on the floor! But it will be obvious, its on the front side.

it will be easier with the car raised a little. But you'll need the car level in order to fill to the correct amount, which I believe is to the bottom of the filling hole.
