Filling hydraulic reservoir

I want to check the fluid for our jacks. I found the reservoir but I'm not sure where to fill it from. There are tw caps on the top one on the left and one on the right. They seem to be very loose and more like a plug or vent? I don't want to pry on them and find out that's not the right way to do it.

    Before you check fluid level, or add any fluid, make sure all your slides and jacks are retracted. The fluid level will appear to be low when they are extended, but if you add fluid, it will overflow and make a mess, when they are retracted.

    BTW, you should not have to add any fluid if there is no leak.
