Most outboards it is added thru the drain plug. Remove the vent plug then using one of these http://www.iboats.com/Sierra-Quart-...3072287--**********.939035239--view_id.271179 connected to the drain, pump it until oil starts coming out the vent. Put the vent plug in first, then the drain plug.

Get a pump like this

Heres some clips from my manual

Also a factory manual is a great investment and helps a ton. I looked on Marine engine but could not find any, Ill keep looking. Stay away from the manuals that cover alot of motors, get a manual that focuses on your engine alone.
But feel free to ask whatever you need even when you do get the manual, thats why the forum is here.

Re: where do i add oil

There are two screws with heads about the size of a dime,They take a standard screwdriver,The lower one is just above the skeg and is in raised lettering marked OIL could be indented?.about 8 inches above it is another screw identical to the lower.It is for air release as oil is introduced into the lower,It also is the fill height of oil.You fill from the bottom hole till it comes out the top,then insert the top screw without removing the lower fill nipple this creates a vaccume so oil doesnt drain quickly out the bottom hole.After the top screw in screwed in remove the oil fill nipple and quickly insert the lower screw.End of game
Wow all that and I got beat with a great pic!!
