It will be at the bottom of the radiator. Look for a round hole in the black plastic splash guards right behind the front bumper, under the radiator . Usually they leave a hole for the fluid to drain through, otherwise it would just pool up in your plasic guards. If you get under your car and look, it will be somwhere directly under the radiator.

I knew their was a drain plug on the base H22s, but i never heard of a block drain bolt. On the SH you dont even have a head drain bolt.

I know of someone that used a wet/dry shopvac to drain their engine of coolent. It actually worked pretty good. Just clamped the hose on the vac hose.

You better have a pretty big allen key though,
It is on the back of the block.
