    It's on the front edge of the oil pan, front center, below the oil filter housing.
    You have to get way down to get a look at it.

    on my 81 Seca 550 its at the very bottom. lower than the finned oil filter housing. you basically need to lay flat on your back and look under the bike if its on the center stand.

    Just pull on it. Holding the bolt and twisting it.

    At least, that is how I did it.
