Hi deanyel & thanks for the response, just to clarify I am getting a low reading at operating temp (about 1.2 inch below the min line) which I think is ok?

Re the drain plug, I will double check but I think I did notice fluid on the flywheel hence my thinking it may be the drain plug? It has occurred before on my w114 where for whatever reason the crush washer was not replaced but I am sure the grill was removable anyway will take another look and report back once I find the drain plug...thanks for the info so far any more tips are very welcome...
