No drain. Loosen the bolts and pry cover away from housing with a catch pan underneath. Axle bearings may have been making noise, chipping a gear tooth or more or breaking the pinion flange are some reasons to pick up lower mileage rear from newer vehicle in a salvage/junkyard. Or, maybe it was purchased from a dealership (but would have easier to rebuild). Maybe a side accident bent the assembly.
