Oil Pan/Oil Drain Plug Location

[JayhawkMatt]

Hey Everyone, I realize this is pretty lame, but I recently decided to change the oil on my 2002 explorer sport and could not find the drain plug anywhere. I beleive I found the drain plug, but it was pointing out, and not down. Is this correct? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

That's it. It's on the passenger side of the pan. A poor place to put it and try not to make a mess.
