To be quite honest, and this comes from a matter of a different objective, but being Canadian, I don't like his replacing the maple leaf with a pot leaf. I find that offensive.

That said, I will not try and quash his right to freedom of speech. Even if it makes him look like a ****.

And your drain is located on the passenger side, on the back side (engine side) of your radiator.

I find Canadian flags offensive. The red says communist to me.

The screen_name osamabinladen isn't about politics, its about a travesty to the American people. And, not to leave anyone out, he then chose an avatar that degrades the Canadian flag. Between the two countries, that makes up almost everybody on this board. I vote name/avatar change as a sign of forgiveness and a second chance.

I think only an arrogant douchebag would be named osamabinladen. It's not a funny name.

ok, so ABOUT THE TOPIC AT HAND

Jesus people leave it alone.

Are you talking about the BLOCK drain, or the radiator drain cock? If you have a factory radiator, it will be pass side lower down. Should be a wing nut shaped plastic plug. If its aftermarket, there will be any of 40 different designs for drain plug.

If you are talking about the block drain, i am not 100% sure where it is but it will be either side under the freeze plugs.

Thanks for you help. I looked it up at:

http://personal.utulsa.edu/~nathan-b...08coolantc.pdf

and it indicates there are 3 drain plugs, however, I can not figure outwhere about the one that is located on th driver's side. Is it more near the front of the engine than the diagram indicates?

I think its about the middle of the block or so, somewhere under that exhaust manifold.

Mine is leaking near the lower front of the block on the driver's side so I am hoping I did not have a crack block.

Actually.. I am guessing you probably smoked a block of crack picking such an abrasive user name on a generally friendly communal board.

Sorry, bud, but you have red in your state flag and your nation's flag. Try again.

Has no one noticed how he hasn't commented back? Props to him for not giving in to all you instigators. LEAVE IT ALONE!

Its the internet. Who cares? There are 100 things more important to worry about than an internet handle.

btw for the record, I am AGAINST a name OR avatar change. If we are going to force him to change everything, then I have a LOOOONNNGGG list of people who will be changing their names and avatars.

I have never heard of one cracking like that. If its leaking near the front, you likely have a freeze plug leaking, or more likely, the water pump or oil cooler are leaking.
