where do I check the transmission fluid level

What is your question?

i think my transmission fluid may be low. A neighbor checked it when it was cold, but told me to check again when it is hot. Now I cannot find the dipstick to check--I know it is somewhere on the left side facing me (passenger side of car) but I cannot find it. Manual has been lost for years.

What makes this problem better or worse?

cold early morning
