There is no drain plug. There is a is a filler plug tho. It is behind the motor, sort of down and left of the battery when looking from the front. The plug is held in by a pin that has a clip on it. If you can put the car on a hoist itis easier to find from below.

So how do drain the oil from the gearbox if there's no drain plug?

Surely the oil has to be replaced sometime?

u need to suck it out. I have an oil changer that does it but you can buy hand pumps (like a big syringe).
