only 1 drain bolt

i've been changing my oil in my 87 gt ever since i got the car and i have only been draining the oil from one drain bolt because that is all i have ever seen.

i was looking around here yesterday and in the haynes manual and realized there should be 2 oil drain bolts in the oil pan. i jacked up my car last night and looked around and still only saw one.

do i have an aftermarket oil pan or am i just blind? the one i see is on the bottom of the oil pan, towards the back, kind of off centered toward the drivers side. where would the other one be because i looked around everywhere, even the sides and did not see another plug? does anyone have a picture?

thanks

It's at the very front of the oil pan, almost on the side of the pan (but at the very front, not off to the side). The sway bar is almost directly underneath it.

Thanks a lot, great description. I found it and drained it yesterday with my oil change.
