There is no way that motor has oil, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid or any other fluid in it. It's WAY TOO clean to have ever seen anything resembling a fluid.

Question to the OP, your headline asks where the drain plug is, which raises the question, how did you drain the oil that was in the engine prior to you adding too much??

I once had a ’79 Subaru 4X4 5sp wagon. Sold it to a brother-in-law of a good friend.

One day he showed up and said “I just changed my oil and now it sounds funny and smokes”.

He drained the tranny and filled the engine.

He drove it over 20 miles at highway speed that way.

After we corrected his booboo, he drove that car many more thousands of miles over the next five years.

It was the first pic that came to mind that would include the drain plug.
