remind me how to check the oil in a 23856 hunter original?

[dano]

I know the manual only said where to add the oil.  I seem to remember that you check it at the top of the housing but I don't see a place to get in there.  Do I have to remove a blade to do this?  I know about the 1/2 inch pipe cleaner but not sure where to do that.
Also, can you confirm the 23856 is the earlier model with the lesser output or the later version?  I think it's earlier.  I bought it new in box but I don't know how long it was since new.
Thanks!

I kind of figured it out.  Due to poor lighting I couldn't see there was a very small gap above the housing.  Anyway any info on the 23856 is also appreciated.
