Oil quantities and other questions

Hey guys I just bought an 02 cooper s and want to completely change all the fluids...only one problem...my manual got something spilled on it and all the pages relevant to routine maintenance got stuck together and are unreadable. Can someone list the lubricant quantities for the engine, manual trans, coolant, and lsd? Also what type of oil for the manual trans? Is the LSD inside the transmission? I only have rear wheel drive cars and this is my first fwd. Thanks.
