Hey there BIG
There is an access plug on pass side,behind wheel and two feet in, it is about 3/4" hole.  My shop uses a Mity VAC evacuation pump that holds about a gallon of fluid. It has plenty of suction with about 3ft each of multiple size tubing. You can purchase on EBAY or online tool companies for $90. We use on diesel oil, 50 weight oil 80/90 and 75/140 synthetic gear oils in commercial trucks where rear end drain plugs may be damaged and we just pump it out from fill plug. Works great, even use it for fuels.
Thanks fast!

How does one determine a PTU failure? With a tune I was having issues where the rear end seemed to spin tire more often and cause loss of control in the rear; And at the same time with or without tune my car will stay stationary off the brake rolling back from some hills, reversing(and going forward sometimes) from hills or driveways = loud bang/bind in driveline. Front tires seem to scream at certain low speed turns and the car has harder steering / wacky wheel(pulls left or right).
I have 27K Mi on original fluid(My home dealer didn't know what it was, or how to change it) And I have an appointment with a different dealer this friday..

I also suspect one of the mounts gave out too, I can see the entire exhaust system under the car twist and bind between reverse and drive..
