Yep its very unmistakable, you really can't miss it with an explanation like that. Its like an inche and a half in length, long and narrow.

... crap. That's what I should have done before I graduated. Used my print quota to print off the S4, S5, and S6 FSMs. :-/

I have a picture, but it's hard to see once I get the file small enough to post. The view is from the top, left, rear side of the motor. The drain is the silver fitting near the bottom of the picture. When the motor is installed, the motor mount hides it somewhat, but you should be able to see it without too much trouble.
