I believe there may be a drain/fill plug on the differential.  It would probably just be a bolt threaded into the trans, or an allen-head screw.  Unscrewing it should allow you to insert a finger and check for fluid level.  If fluid is up to your finger, you're OK.  Primitive, but this is how it works on rear axles when checking them.
