Default Hehehe I guess not.. I looked at ETKA for you...
Doesn't show a part number for drain plug, but from the illustration it looks like it may be on the very top of the diff. This is ETKA 6. Is it just me or was ETKA 5 better? If it's anything like the gearbox though then it's behind the driver's side inner CV-joint guard.

Default Fluid is fluid.
As long as the pickup is reasonably clean, it should be able to transfer the rear dif. fluid out.
