left-side of engine,... big round slotted plate in the center of the case...
Finding a tool for that slot is your new challenge... many folks here use an old front brake pad plate... get creative, but don't booger it up, your gonna' do this a lot...

Some guys have an old front brake pad for a tool to pop that cover, others have found & used other things. Just be very Coool about tightening that plug going back together. Its easy to jam them in there & have a bad time getting them back out.

Just did mine a month or so ago. We shaved down the edge of a big washer and it worked great. Have fun!
