Adrian,
I've done it both ways, and frankly it's a toss up. My '60 3A doesn't have
the top dip stick so I have to use the plug on the side (got my pinkie stuck
once checking the level!). It's a real $@*&) adding oil.
If you do it from underneath you have to factor in the mess of the GB oil
that drips on you (there's something in GB oil that has a pervasive smell
that motor oil lacks).
I'm almost to the point of cutting another grommet hole in the cover so I
can just put a removable plug in to fill it from the drivers side (the
existing plug for the OD wiring won't reach).
