Default 6 speed gearbox 2nd drain plug location?

Hey there,

I've just tried my first attempt at draining the 6 speed so I can fill with the excellent Castrol driveline - I've found the big drain pug with magnet underneath but where's the 2nd plug in relation to that one?

just come back slightly from the big nut and there is a small sump with a smaller nut that faces forward thats the other drain plug.

Cheers, thought it was that but when I found the nut was soft and didn't want to come off (started to round off) I decided to check. I'll need to use an impact kit to get that bugger off, its not really a solid plug like the other one.
