Default Will someone please tell me what these are

I was reading a froum post about (Is this the Oil Darin Plug) and I saw a pic of it they listed. Well a few weeks ago I had my buddy with a drive on lift change my oil for me as I was putting the car away for the winter. Anyway I saw he removed the Oil Drain Plug and there was a plug right next to it that looked exactly like the plug he removed.
My question is, what is the other plug for? I did'nt know how to put a pic in this forum so I took a pick of the 2 plugs and it is on my Prifile Page with the pics of My Mustang. If you'd go to my profile page and look I'd really appreciate it. My Mustang is a 2007 V6 Pony with the Premeium Package.
Thank You Ron
p.s. if you want to read something scarry, read the post I just submitted about (I almost died today floor mat warning)

OMG! Than what the HECK is it???? My buddy drained the oil out of it and put the new 5 quarts of Mobile 1 into the car, I checked the oil and it was clean and at the full mark???????
Im getting worried.........bug again I had him change the Oil the last 5 times and all is well. Are you 100% Positive it's not the Oil Drain Plug? It has to be.

Well I just got off the phone with my Buddy who owns the Garage where I got my oil changed. His worker changed my oil, I never watched him do it, but when he was done, and I walked over to see what he was doing, he said, you got a little oil seepedge from the plug, and I assumed it was my Oil drian plug he was talking about.
Well it must have been another plug for something else he was referring to. So tomorrow My Buddy who owns the garage said to bring in the car and we'll see what plug it is. I have had him change the Oil since new as he has a drive on lift and he does'nt charge me to have it changed as I supply the Mobile 1 and filter. I always change the Oil in everything I own, but I like the drive on lift he has and since the car is so low I let him do it.
Dont worry guy's my car is fine, I checked the Oil after he did it and it was clean and at the full mark. So it MUST have been a Oil Drain Plug for something else that he was referring to when he said it was seeping a tiny bit of oil. But if anyone knows what the Plug's are for, please let me know. Again the pics of the 2 plugs are in My Profile Pictures.
Thank's Again!
Ron

Looks like caps on an automatic transmission. I am going with where transmission cooler lines would attach were one installed.

for sure, that is not your oil drain plug. the 1 drain plug is located at the rear/bottom of the oil pan, about in line with the oil filter. i couldnt get under my car to look without a jack, but thats gotta be the trans there.

No, I got the car brand new, nobody touched anything on it. I stopped by my Buddies garage today, after yesterdays episode with my Floor Mats I needed a ride to get rid of my fear of giving my car the gas. Anyway the plugs of course are not the Oil Drain Plug, when my buddies helper changed my oil he noticed one of them plugs had a slight slight wet spot on it and pointed it out to me. I checked it and it's not wet anymore, but it bothers me as the car is a 07 but only has 6,203 miles on it now. My buddy told me to get it on the lift but I did'nt have time and had to go, if it was leaking bad I would have. The fluid did'nt look red like tranny fluid but then again there was'nt enough of it to tell. Im thinking it is the tranny fluid plugs, but why are there 2 of them?
