Default Gear Oil: how to check level

We had oil from the gear box leak (into the clutch!) and need to refill (through the fill plug on the upper driver side of the gear box).
What is the proper level? Until it starts to run out?

Thanks.

Another good spot to fill it is from above on the passenger side. There is a sensor on the top of the transmission housing that can be removed, its just a small bolt holding it in. Remove the bolt and pull the plug/sensor out. Hole is big enough to put a 1" hose into, use a funnel on the end of the hose and pour in the oil till it starts dripping out the side fill hole on the transmission.
