All,

What Dave says makes sense.  Rather than pull the drain plug to reduce the 
level, how does this sound?  Place a bowl on the floor beneath the drain plug.  
Check the amount of fluid collected each day.  (You may even be able to reuse 
what leaks later?)  When the amount of leak stops or becomes tolerable, your're 
done!  The level will adjust itself on its own!

Just a thought
