Default no water from block coolant drain ?

Hi,
Im trying to drain my 2.8 30v engine block from coolant. I have found the plug and removed it, but there's no water, the plug itself is bone dry.

If i look into the hole it looks as if there's a lot of dried oil, i have tried to remove it with a screwdriver but havent been successfull in doing so, despite using a considerate amount of force.

Has anyone experienced anything like this ?

Just to check, the plug itself looks like the one on these pictures : http://pcteknik.dk/bil/koler.htm

There are two bolts next to each other that look similar. The one on the right holds on the oil pan, the one on the left is the coolant drain plug. If it looks like the one in the picture and nothing's coming out it's gummed up pretty good. Flush water through the system and I would think it would start to flow.
