Unfortunately you will not find the Manual gearbox filler / drain plugs under the Air box... they are positioned around the nearside inner driveshaft / gearbox housing and you'll have to remove the wheel & tyre to gain clear access. Remember to alway remove the filler plug (top one) first just incase you're unable to open the lower drain plug. ATB

Here are a few pix to illustrate the Manual 6 Speed gearbox oil fill & drain plug location on my '09 XC60 D5 AWD for anyone who's unsure.
First two pix show the fill plug location and the last two the drain plug. I hope this helps.

Manual Gearbox Oil Change
I changed the manual gearbox oil at 70,000 miles on my XC60 D3 2.0 and it shifted that bit more smoothly when cold. I found that the genuine and correct oil from Volvo is hardly more expensive than off the shelf oils at Halfords. Changing the oil plug copper washers is a must.

I agree about using fresh copper washers being a "must" to prevent potential leaks.
