need advice on oil in a gearbox

Hello, this may sound kind of weird.. need advice from somebody who has experience with oil change on a saab 9000 1993 with no drain plug. I got almost all gearbox oil out, then I put in some, and i put in some more, and i put in some more, i called my dealer, they said just put in oil untill it comes out a little control hole underneath the fill plug. and so i did, i put in close to 4 quarters of oil, untill it started comming out of the fill hole , but it never even showed out of that small little hole way lower then the fill hole. I am talkign about a little bolt that you can take out underneath the fill plug. what surprises me is that I drove the car much since i put oil in, and it still does not come out of that hole ENEN THOUGH IT IS LOWER THEN THE FILL HOLE. That is just some mistery to me. I thought that the tranny had some empty space inside of it, and that if the oil comes out of the fill plug, it should also flow out of the hole that is few inches lower then the fill plug, but no oil comes out of there. Is it possible that there is some plug inside the tranny and the oil does not go through somewhere? what the deal is? i don't know what to think. Please, help me with advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, and sorry for being long.
