look for a cap /w a flat head top to it. Should usually need a larger flat head to open the cap. There should be a fill cap near the cylinder area. Don't just dump fluid in and call it good. You're going to have to bleed the lines and fill/bleed fill/bleed a few times. There's dozens of videos on youtube on how to do it.
