Here is a picture showing where the fill plug is. To drain the unit you remove the cover.

do not drill and put a rubber plug you will end up with more leaks than you started with if you look on the left side of the differential up front by the driveshaft you should find a fill plug it should take an extension and a 3/8 ratchet or a 9/16 wrench to remove it
