drive to the most convenient place. have the fluid drained, and the transmission cleaned with a pumping system to cleanse out the oil (important!) and replace with pure transmission fluid.

Also, it sounds like the transmission is leaking. If there is a leak, have the leak fixed at a shop as soon as possible.

Many, many transmissions have been destroyed because owners did not have leaks repaired... Many!

It only takes one time with the transmission fluid level too low to make a transmission fail. It's much, much cheaper to have a leak fixed than to rebuild or replace the transmission!

I think what you really want to know is where is the transmission oil drain located. The engine oil, which is what they are referring to when the just say 'oil change' and don't specify 'transmission', is probably the one you are familiar with. It's located on the bottom of the engine (crankcase) and the oil is black (unless there's serious damage). The transmission oil would be drained from the drive train area, back closer to the rear wheel. On most scooters I've seen there is a large black cover on the left side (left if your sitting on it) that needs to be removed so you can see the plug. After draining the transmission oil, use the same location to refill it, till it's running out the hole. Then replace the plug and cover. Make sure to use the recommended transmission fluid.

You can take it to a oil change place that does auto transmissions. You most likely have to make an appointment for this. You will also want one that does the power flush refill.
They will open up the lines to the transmission cooler and hook it to a machine. The machine will collect the old oil and replace it with the new oil. Then when the fluid starts coming out looking like new fluid, then you know all the old fluid is out and the new fluid is in.

good luck.

First, this a world wide site. Where do you live? Second, don't drive any more than you have too. You need a complete transmission flush to get the other oil out before there is some serious damage.

Hopefully you didn't start the engine without oil in it or you're looking at bigger problems than just leaking oil. The transmission pan needs to be removed and the filter replaced and if you started the engine, it need to be flushed first then drained and refilled>

Take it to a transmission shop and have them change the transmission oil and filter. It is important that you don't drive the car there, but have it towed instead. If you try to drive it you can do sever mechanical damage to the transmission.

Don't wait, do it now.

Drain it, put it on level ground, find out how much it holds and fill it up again, it's not rocket surgery.
