A drain plug gasket is a washer type device made of plastic or other non porous material and is used between the drain plug and the oil pan to prevent leakage when the drain plug does not fit snugly in the oil pan

There is no drain plug. You can try to suction out the lube but you really need to remove the rear cover to completely drain the differential. And buy a new gasket (or make your own from gasket stock material) to reinstall the cover; use a gasket sealant sparingly on the gasket and bolt threads to get a good seal.
