Help! I'm pretty new to tractor ownership and I don't want to do things wrong.

I have a 1969 4400 Industrial with a FEL. I've noticed a slow leak where the brake petal enters the rear axle, and I'd like to top off that reservoir before levels get low enough to cause an issue. I have two questions:
1) I noticed a fill plug (on the side) and a huge nut (on the top) of the rear axle - is that what I use to fill the reservoir?
2) It looks like hydraulic oil that's seeping out - can I just top off with universal hydraulic oil from tractor supply?
I can certainly get pics if that helps. Thanks in advance for the advice!
