The radiator drain plug is located on the front lower right side.

There's a coolant drain plug on the left rear side of the block, but I haven't tried it.

Drivers. I believe it's a 3/8" socket (square) drive. Can't get to it easily. It's just above the manifold and there's a ton of other crap in the way.
