Didn't think you could MrBSI, thought it just overflowed when it was full?

The box isn't full with 2 litre's of oil, there is space at the top for air.
Overfill the box, it will pressurize the oil, you will ruin the seals & it will p**s oil out 
That's why there is a fill / level plug on the side

that is right, as long as when you refill the oil the car is level, then any excess oil should come out from the filler hole

That's been filled from the fill / level hole so it will be spot on 
As long as the car was sitting / jacked level

It's in the engine compartment. I saw the oil was being filled there. it's perhaps under the air throttle valve.
