Question TC-SST fluid level check

The service schedule calls for checking the TC-SST fluid level:
Check twin clutch sportronic shift transmission oil for
evidence of leaks (if necessary, check the oil level).

I'm not aware of an external reservoir, dipstick window, etc. to check the fluid level. Does anyone know how one is supposed to check the TC-SST fluid level? Thanks.

i remember reading the installation instructions for one of the aftermarket SST coolers out there, and it said that the level CANNOT be checked. The instructions said during the installation to either catch all the leaked fluid during the installation and to put that fluid back afterwards, or one must perform a full fluid change, adding in a predetermined amount.

Sorry, this seems to conflict with your quoted text, so I am not sure which is correct.

Do you have pictures for the SSP front mount after installed?

Thanks
