Transmission Fluid Change

Going to change my tranny grease here in a couple days and thought I'd ask,
Where is the fill plug on a w50?
What can I do to help the drain plug seal?

from the FSM it should be on the right (i think half asleep ) side 90* from the drain plug:


as far at the drain plug I thought there was usually a brass type washer around the plug...if that sort of thing is not there maybe some high Temp RTV? dunno though never went that route...

well was at the toyota dealer today and the tech seemed to recall the plug being similar to an engine oil drain plug, so he took the info and said a new plug would be $7. Unfortunately it has to be shipped from the warehouse and they of course throw in an extra charge, so a new plugs looking like a 3-5 day wait and about 15 bucks.

didn't happen got busy, plus couldn't find a new plug and it would truly piss me off to put the old plug back in fill it up, look under and see a drip...........drip........drip

So once I get a new plug I'll go ahead with it.
