No oil drain plug?

I recently purchased a w203 and today decided to change the oil for the first time. Lo and behold it appears as though either the c320 has no oil drain plug or mine has disappeared. Is there any way I am looking in the wrong place. I've got eight gallons of the preferred oil along with the correct filter sitting in my garage. Help!!

Take a look at this oil pan https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/z0QAA...TCW/s-l640.jpg You can see the drain plug in the top right.
It is farther back then you think near the cats if memory serves me right.

It's there. You just have to remove the plastic under cover and you will find it.
Then again, you can use the pump through the dipstick method.
