On Bottom of Radiator, above Mount.

Drain the engine coolant from the cooling system.
Remove the radiator drain plug and seal. The seal usually comes out attached to the plug.
Remove the body of the drain plug. Use your fingers or needle nose pliers to disengage the locking tangs from the side tank.
Clean the drain and the drain plug.
Inspect the drain and the drain plug. Repair or replace as necessary.
