take the cap off and look inside towards the back, there should be an X sticking up from the bottom of the tank. The top of that is the level

You will need to lean forward a fair bit to see it, it's not directly under the cap which is pretty unhelpful!

Or up to the halfway seam around the outside any excess will get blown out via the valve in the cap.

If yu still have those plastic bungs, change em for brass ones. Tons on eBay or in the for sale section.

The black plastic plugs are a nightmare, replace them with half inch std radiator blanking plugs or radiator bleed valves.
