never called you an idiot.. now i would be calling you an idiot if you found the oil filter, tranny, but you weren't able to find the oil drain plug for the enigne... if the plug you found is under the engine, chances are thats it... if you put a 14mm socket on there, turn it counterclockwise and black fluid comes out then that might be the oil...

Is that what that black stuff is? So, you're saying that you change it? I thought that it was just there for delivery and after that you just discarded it. Damn, so that's the problem.

Comedians all of you.

Oil plug is on the oil pan which is under the engine.
Tranny plug is under the transmission, duh.
