Transmission fluid leak

Just pulled into a campground and noticed a fine spray of droplets on the back of my truck and front of my trailer. Traced the problem to a transmission oil leak up front. I have a 2011 F150 and it doesn't have a dipstick(whose GREAT idea was that???). If I can't check the oil level how do I know if it is safe to drive?

If you crawl under, there's a plug on the tranny that when unscrewed, has a dipstick on it.

Dip stick??

Where is the plug located? I see one towards the bottom but isn't that a drain plug and won't the transmission fluid then come out?
