6-spd fluid change and IDS bearing seal failure?

I bought a 2008 9-3 2.0T/6MT about 3 months ago, and have been very happy with the car so far. Before moving to Germany the past 4 years, I had a 9-5 Aero, so it's good to be back in a Saab. I have a few questions for you guys:
I'd like to change the trans fluid, with hopes of improving the cold temp 1-2 shift for my wife. Where are the drain and fill plugs? They don't seem to be immediately obvious. Is there a seperate fill plug on the top of the trans also?
- While under the car for an oil change, I noticed the intermediate drive shaft support bearing seems to have slung all of its grease out. I assume the seal has failed, and this means the bearing will eventually fail... probably during a long trip due to heat. Is this a typical problem? I'm not sure if the stealership will replace this under warranty until it completely fails on me...
Thanks,
- Josh
