    How to drain sump on J325?

    I've got a Tree J325 that has not run coolant in years. The sump was emptied way back when but now appears to be overflowing with tramp oil. I can't seem to find any drain plug. Do I need to pump it out with the coolant pump? I'm worried pumping think nasty oil will damage the pump. Thanks!
