I doubt that they have a block drain plug, but I will look into it and see if Mitchell 1 shows any drain.

Well, according to my Haynes manual. There is, but I couldn't find it. That's why I asked for help. I think I have bigger problems than that anyway. Thanks for your response. If you discover the location, I'll file that away for future reference. Thank you!

I can't find anything online, either on or Chilton's about a block drain plug. The only drain plug for the cooling system I can think of is located near the bottom of the radiator. The engine oil drain plug is located on the rear of the oil pan.
