Radiator drain plug?

[gusu]

I have loved around and can't seem to find such a simple answer.

So I was going to drain my radiator and noticed someone removed my drain hose for flushing.

Right now I am running straight water since the summer was so warm but we are getting REALLY close to freezing temps again. So I want to put in some 50/50.

I got the car up and noticed under where the AC fan used to be there is a wing nut looking thing and another thing that almost looks like a valve stem with what looks like a nut tip. My question is simple. Where the hell is the drain plug so I can drain my radiator! Btw my water pump went out during the summer if you are wondering if I over filled it .

If you can take pictures of it that would be amazing. Of course I still have the stock 1g radiator.

*edit* Crap, I forgot what does the manual say for the exact amount of coolant?

You need to loosen that plastic "wing nut looking thing" and that will let you drain the radiator. It should just loosen a little bit before it starts letting fluid out (you don't have to completely remove it).

Okay, I was pretty sure but wanted to check first. I had a car before that the wing nut thing was used to open the valve that was to the actual drain plug then it would drain from there but if you didn't open it first you could damage the radiator because of the fail design with it.

Thanks for your reply btw

Alright well i got it drained. It looks like my old water pump dumped a lot of rust into the line. So it's probably a good thing that I used straight water the last time .

I think I might get new hoses to. I can just imagine how nasty those things are by now.
