Default Got Oil in My Coolant

Ok.. I pulled my head this Saturday, but a ton of oil dripped into my coolant.
How do I clean and drain it from there ?

Simply drain the coolant like you would if there wasn't oil in it. You may need to run some kind of cleaner through the cooling system once you have it all back together.

If you want to do it the fast way, take off the radiator cap and pull the lower radiator hose off. Watch your toes.

Thanks for the input.. BlueR pointed me to the drain plug on the front of the cylinder block. I was able to drain it out from there

Draining should really be enough to clean out the gunk but it might be a good idea to run a cooling system flush like one from Prestone..
