The fill hole is a round head stainless steel screw. You have it right in the diaghram. Tilt the motor fully up and then fill. Originally the PTT held 5W-30 motor oil. Some subsequently used Dextron Auto trans fluid. See what you have in there and refill with the same.

Only remove the fill screw. Use a small funnel to introduce the PTT fluid. When she is full replace the fill screw.

OK, the PTT pump is self bleeding. Run her down and up a few times and refill. After she stays full, with the motor 1/2 way up, pull on the gearcase. If she moves more than 1/4", you need to bleed the PTT cylinders.
