How do I drain oil from a Skoda Octavia?

We have over filled the oil on our Skoda Octavia and so need to drain some of the oil away. How do we locate the oil sump drain?|||How about tipping the car over and pouring the oil back into the container. However, this would require either superhuman strength, or a lot of friends. And a very good aim would be needed.





Or...the oil would evaporate over time. You could leave the cap off and wait........


......when do you need to use the car next?





Would your vacuum cleaner attachment fit in there....maybe no, sounds too messy.
