Good luck with the fluid change. You shouldn't have a drain plug on your diff cover. Just loosen the four bolts around the bottom and work your way to the top of the cover. Don't remove the bolts, loosen them enough to pop the cover away from the housing and drain the fluid. The easiest way to fill it is to get a fluid pump from the local parts store and remove the fill plug on the front of the carrier, if your car has a lot of rust on it use the PB Blaster on all of the bolts and fill plug first, especially the fill plug. If it has never been removed it is a pain in the butt. Also they should have the friction modifier for the limited slip. For fluid use 75w-90 gear lube. I prefer to use Amsoil synthetic. Some parts stores carry it or a specialty performance shop in your area will carry it. Have fun enjoy the smell
