How To Check Gearbox Oil?

I am probably paranoid, and I am used to driving cars with the windows up and lots of sound deadening. But, I am noticing a whine noise on overrun from the gearbox, especially in second gear. With a big trip to France coming up, how do I check the gearbox oil level.

As I say, its probably just because I have the windows open in this weather and its a van, but don't want to be worrying about it on the 8 hour drive to the Dordogne. Thanks for any advice.
 
what year/engine/gearbox/final drive?

see below for the 6speed manual box : Oil level is correct when gearbox is filled to lower edge of filler hole.

When filling with oil, note the following:
– Remove bolt -arrow-.
– Fill with gear oil to lower edge of filler hole.
– Screw in bolt -arrow- with new seal and tighten to specified torque → Fig..
– If present, attach noise insulation to gearbox.

Capacity of manual gearbox 2.7 l

Thanks for the answer

Sorry I should have said. It's a 5 speed 102 engine euro6, late 2016 on a 66 plate.

What is the bevel box?
