They're usually on the side, you have to remove the passenger arch lining IIRC.
Or there will be a breather on the top. If you know the exact amount to fill it with you can fill it through there.

Don't put any of that ZX1 additive crap in a MA gearbox 
The MA box is VERY picky on oil

Ok a no no with the zx1, Think the correct oil in the box might help, I know the person that had it before used engine oil in it

To be fair, a few gearboxes do use engine oil
That's why you should always check the handbook OR ask the manufacturer what lubricant you should use.

As long as you don't overfill the gearbox it will be fine.
