Where is the transfer case filler cap?

This might be a dumb question...but where is the filler cap for the tfer case? is it the same filler cap for the tranny and the tfer case? I have a stock 76 FJ40.

If it's not the same, could you please provide a detailed description, as well as a pic if possible?

Thanks in advance

You fill it through the top drain plug at the back.

is it at the top, completely unvisible from me just laying under the car...IE- do I need to feel around for it with my hand and unscrew blindly?

Mines leaking and I want to check the gasket before taking it in, but I want to make sure I can refill it before I let it all dump out...(if theres any left in there anyways)

you need a 17 mm wrench, its a nut on the back left side about 5" up . hit it lightly with a ball pene hammer first and it should be easier to unscrew .
