How do you put the oil in or check to see if it needs oil

There is an allen screw in the bottom of the fork... Thats where I filled mine. I would imagine they need to be taken apart, cleaned, fresh seals, and fresh oil... The oil that came out of mine was straight nasty! Blackish gray goo.... Its not a bad project to do...
