1986 Porsche 928S Checking Fill Level Automatic Transmission

Checking Fill Level Automatic Transmission
1986 Porsche 928S 32 Valve Automatic Transmission Fill Level
So got this Car Running and the Transmission seems to work Well However as the Car has been sitting I want to service the Auto Transmission with Filter and
Dexron 3 Type Fluid
I have Pressure washed the Area / Auto Transmission and found the White opaque plastic looking Reservoir Fill bottle . It has a Red Cap on the Top. I have not removed the Top yet as I have large hands yet and it is a very tight location .
Questions
(1) Exactly How do you check The Fluid Level
( I have read that you check with the Car level and the Unit warmed up Completely) " With the Red Filler Cap removed is their a Dipstick coming from it you can see ? Bottom of Cap perhaps
(2) Or Perhaps Guessing here " Do you View the Fluid Level through the opaque plastic Reservoir ? I see no Level Lines on the Reservoir
( I removed a Metal Shield covering the plastic Reservoir but see no fluid perhaps because the Plastic is "opaque" / not clear . )
(3) If I am on the wrong Track " Exactly How do you check the Fluid Level.
(Surely you don't just fill it until the Fluid runs out the top of the opaque plastic Reservoir )

With no dipstick or Sight Glass in site I can find I am confused as to how in the heck You check the Fluid level .
I read a few Posts but no one actually tells you how to Check this ?

(3) Finally what Brand Dexron 3 Do you recommend for the 1986 928S

Thanks all if anyone knows the Exact Procedure
