No offense man, shouldn't be working on the car if you can't find the drain plug.

Directly under the engine, you will see a black pan. There should be a 14mm or 17mm(can't remember which size) toward the lower part of it, I think on the passenger side.

The only thing that could be different if the PO put a dry sump in the car or completely reworked the oil pan. I would also get a better filter, fram suck IMHO.
