If you are looking at a square head plug, that is the fill plug. There is no drain plug. You have to pull the rear cover.

Pull the cover and replace it with a girdle cover that includes a drain plug.

But DO NOT fill it from the girdle's top plug!!!:shake:

Yeah I found that out the hard way as the excess fluid purged from the vent tube!!!!

Aside from the mess, though - it's not a big deal. Don't want to start a panic!!
