i believe the plug is in the center housing on the bottom on the ignition side. i want to say its a hex plug. it drains the water. not "completely," but mostly.

yes, and it squarts the stuff everywhere based on location. I usually pull that one after the engine is out but b4 its tipped.
PS not so easy I mocked up a loop for the lines, and just pull the pump. I keep a bucket near by for stuff like this and just toss the pump in the bucket. b4 I reinstall, i drain the pump clean it up and refil with fresh fluid. Many times while the motor is out, I will drain the rack as well so the PS system has 90%+ fresh fluid.
