Default Where's the drain plug? (2.8)

Before you guys say anything, yes I used the search feature and all I found related to the 1.8.

Anyway, I had planned on changing my oil this morning before work and had gotten everything ready, raised the car, found the oil filter, etc. When it came time to find the drain plug, I thought I had found it, but it looked much different than other drain plugs because it was a hex while on every other car it is a bolt. Anyway, Preceded to unscrew it, but it simply wouldn't budge, even after using a hammer to hit the handle of the allen key. So I did some searching online and found that what I was trying to unscrew was actually the transmission drain and not the oil drain plug. It's too late to change the oil now because I have to shower and go to work, but hopefully I'll get to it next weekend. My question is, where is the damn drain plug on my 2001 2.8 A4 B5?
