Default Which is pump oil hole for Sears power washer ?

Hi all,
I have a Sears 2550 psi "Quick Start" power washer, model 580-752550
and managed to "misplace" the manual and don't have time to get a new
one today (Sears doesn't archive them).
There are two "oil fill" holes, one for pump, one for engine and
they look the same on opposite sides of the engine.
Can somebody tell me
how to determine which is for pump oil and which is for engine oil,

If the oil fill holes are both on the engine casting they are for the engine
not the pump. The one for the pump should be forward of the engine shaft and
on the pump casting.

Thanks. I just thought it odd that there were two oil fill holes and
caps (both appear to have fresh engine oil to the top) on opposite
sides of the engine casing. Fired it upAnd, BTW, I could find nothing
that looks like an oil fill port on the pump itself for pump oil
(though Sears sold me pump oil). Is it possible the pump is
permanently oiled or if not what does the pump oil fill hole look like
on the pump ? Thanks for responding.
Bob
