Help finding drain cock??

Where is the drain cock on the driver side of a 1990 3.0 engine? Thanks!

Picture(s) would help. Thanks!

It is on the left back corner of the bottom. Near the lower radiator hose.

I think that's where my leak is. Did you mean to say "left front corner" instead of "left back corner". Do yo tighten it with a wrench or a Hex key/Allen Key

If I recall correctly mine had a "wingbolt" that I would use to drain the coolant. It takes too long, so I usually just undo the lower radiator hose clamp and pull the hose off. Be careful though. Coolant tastes like a mouthful of Tylenol tablets! Yuck.

I know it makes me sound like a dick, but as a patriot I don't think I could help someone with that nic. I say re-register with a new one and try again.

Yeah I am not a fan of the name either and as a mod I have never seen anything quite like this. I mean it doesn't explicitly break a YT rule but it does go against the *spirit* of YT.

What do ya say OBL? We normally do not do name changes for folks but in your case I'd like to help out

Ok back to your regularly scheduled tech thread. - No more need for political discussion about the name....

It is just a screen name, don't look too deep into it. Actually I think it is funny. Could you imagine some of the quotes?

it is just a joke..but somethings arent really jokes. Especially to those who have lost someone in 9/11 or in the war. It COULD bother someone, and YOTATECH is all about toyotas and helping eachother. I vote name change

Guys, cant we just leave the politics and political correctness bull out of this forum. Its bad enough ya cant tell a person to drop dead without being accused of a terroristic treat (just an example so dont get it twisted) The guy's not glorifying that c_cksucker. just take a look at his avatar. its just an attention getter. Stupid, but harmless none the less.

You're assuming that Osama really was behind the 9/11 attacks.

Personally, I think it was Lee Harvey Oswald.

And the CIA.

And KGB.

And Big Oil.
