I'd like to check the transmission oil level but can't find a dip stick for it. I've read through the hand book and it recommends taking the vehicle to a dealer. Anyone have knowledge of this? (2017 2Ltr AWD auto Sportage)

No dipstick only filler plug.

Not looked on the Sportage but in every other car I have seen the transmission has two plugs - a drain one & a fill one.
The "level" is to fill fluid through the "fill" hole until the point where it starts to overflow, then replace the plug.

To check the level is simply a case of removing the fill plug and checking that the fluid is still level with it.

Thank you for the info, sounds like my old Rover saloon 40yrs ago

Not all vehicles are fill to it flows over, some are fill to a specific level below the fill port, and therefor can be overfilled.
The manual will probably say to perform the oil level check at 68 deg C oil temp, but check to be sure.
