    I removed the transaxle inspection plug and the fluid is just a little low, so I was going to top it up.

    Can I do this from the inspection hole or should I do it through the transfer case fill hole?

    if you replace thru the x-fer case fill hole, leave the inspection hole unplugged on the diff. until fluid drips out.

    leave things sit for a few minutes and then re-check for too much or too little.

    i'd changed my 328 many times in this manner. i believe this is Ferrari's accepted procedure.

    You can add a bit through the inspection hole. It probably won't take but 2 or 3 squirts from a quart style oil pump.

    Be sure the car is leveled

    Never seen the top plug used for filling in a professional environment in over 40 years.
    With car level put a pint in the top plug and fill in the rear plug until it overflows.......done.

    Lets not overthink this.
