Default gearbox question and repair manual

hey guys well as you are probably aware my lil fiesta had a little bit of a hard time and i had to change the gearbox, clutch and cv's, anyways besides the point, i filled up the gearbox with oil on the side plug but i realised there is a filler hole at the top of the gearbox where the hyd oil goes into the centric slave cylinder, whats that for? do i need to top up any kind of oil in there? as its a little whiney so im thinking maybe it needs oil in there but what kind? maybe its for the clutch bearing? also where could i get a repair manual for the mk6 fiesta facelift? i wouldnt mind having one laying around, please let me know asap, any help its greatly appreciated in advance, thanks.

For the manual in ebay type haynes 4170. As for the gearbox, was it sitting for a while? It may need time to smooth out. Check the level again to make sure. I''m not exactly sure but I think the hydraulic slave cylinder works with the brake system? Can you locate the bleeder nipple, and bleed as per brake bleeding routine.
