Default Drained Wrong Plug - Where Is Fill & How Much & Type Of Fluid Needed

Hi Folks,

Complete noob here for my newly acquired 2008 Accent GS Hatchback with Automatic Transmission.

Woke up early to change engine oil and drain transmission fluid but must not have had enough coffee in me.

I drained the wrong plug and now I don't know where the fill plug is or what type of fluid is needed. Fluid that came out looks like tranny fluid.

Attached pic shows location of plug behind transmission pan. Looks like trans-axle housing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ron

Update: All is good.

That reservoir is fed by the transmission.

Replaced the lost fluid through the ATF dip stick hole and everything is peachy.

DON'T sweat it you,let out some tranny fluids.To replace the fluid ,the Dealer cost for a quart is pricey.
