Ok, this bugged me so I went to another site and got apick of it. Just follow your upper rad hose backwards. You'll need a special tool to open the clamp, sometimes pliers will do it but the tool is better. Auto bparts stores should have it to rent. I'm sending a pic along. You'll need to drain coolantof course and remove engine cover to reach it. It's on the driver's side.
