Engine Drain Plug, WHERE IS IT?!?!?!?

k so I'm HALF way done flushing my cooling system (did the rad just fine) but I CANNOT find the engine drain plug!!

I have the Haynes with me & all it can offer is a little drawing.
It's a pain because I still have all my powersteering/ac/abs/etc lines/hoses blocking everything.

Using the SPARK PLUGS as a reference point, can someone PLEASE tell me where the engine drain plug for draining the COOLANT is?!!?!?!?


I've removed the all the metal/plastic shielding from under the car but I still can't figure out where it is or what it should look like!!

On the very bottom of the center housing, on the driver's side. It is right above the motor mount, its a 14mm that sticks out farther than the mount bolts.

Just flush the system, you don't need to pull the plug with a good flush!

Yes you do. Otherwise you're not completely flushing the block.
