Default Transmission pan and oil pan one in the same?

Hi,
Looking at the parts manual for my 06' RK it looks like the both the oil drain plug and transmission drain plug (#20 in the attached diagram) are draining the same pan? Is there a divider in the actual pan or do they in fact share the same pan? I did manage to drain each plug separately, so where did one of the fluids come from?

Ahhhh...must be number 26 in the diagram...Seems like a very odd way to seperate the two. How could it possibly make a good seal without some kind of gasket? What the hell do I know. Thanks for clearing that up!

The trans holds it's own fluid. Follow the trans drain plug up through the pan, through the gasket and to the trans case where the drain hole resides.. The trans fluid just passes through the pan for the engine oil. Makes it more convenient to drain there I guess.
