HPOP Drain Plug??

Is there a drain plug on the HPOP. I want to drain the HPOP because I got coolant in my oil, for those of you who have not read my previous thread. If there is nothing other than the small plug at the top, what is the best way to get it out. I took some out with a medicine dropper but i will be here until 2010 doing that.

Also, where do I drain the oil rails?

My repair manual says to suction the oil from the reservoir using a special suction tool or pump.

If you have a small wet dry vac you could attach a small piece of pipe to the hose and vac it out. I use a turkey baster to get coolant out of the reservoir on the radiator to test it works well and you will get more out than with a medicine dropper. As far as the rails still looking.

They are allen type they are smooth and round with an allen head for removal.
I wish I had a scanner it would make it easier. Hope this helps.
