Supercharger oil check location?

Does anyone have a photo or diagram showing where you check the oil level for the SUPER CHARGER on a JCW 2002 model mini Cooper?

Step 1
Spend 4 hours...remove the sc...then check BOTH fill plugs...then spend about 4 hours reinstalling it...with a few new gaskets....
Not to be a smart azz...but any sc removal guide for a gen1 mini cooper s will work....

Check the DIY tab then scroll down to supercharger on the link in the signature. It may be helpful. Good luck.

Good Luck with tearing everything apart. I recommend replacing your water pump gasket while you got everything apart if you have high miles.

Might as well replace the entire pump since you have it out. They are cheap and do fail.
