Default Oil Change Question

Hi. I got my A4 (2004 1.8T) today and I want to change the oil, but I can't find the drain plug! Can somebody tell me if there is a website that has a picture, or if someone can tell me where it is?! I've changed the oil in Acuras a million times but I'm lost on this one...
Thanks in advance

Ok I'm sorry... I'm doing this right now and I'm not sure if it's right... I took out like 3 screws and already some oil started leaking. Am I removing the right screws? Where are the screws that I need to take out?
Thanks

Hey I'm not posting here so people can laugh. I needed some help that's all. I've never owned an Audi or tried to change the oil and I only use BMW service on my other car. On Acuras, all you have to do is lift the car and the plug is right there.

ok the screws he told you to take out were for the skid plate.. once the plastic skid plate is off .. ONLY ONLY remove the drain plug.. should be like a 14mm bolt.. it sounds like you are removing the screws for the oil pan.. no good..

the drain plug is right in front on the very front of the oil pain.. dead center of the car directly underneath the engine..

remove the skid plate.. if will look the same as any other car.. once you get under there
