Block Drain Plugs? I am getting ready to flush the coolant system because for some reason it is quite low. I think it overflowed one evening because there was a sizable pool of coolant under the radiator. Anyways, I know where the radiator drain plug is and the two bleed screws, but I can't find the block drain plugs that are under the manifolds? Can someone give me a picture or something? Is it even necessary to unscrew the block drain plugs when flushing the coolant?

One drain plug is above the starter. If you remove the starter you can remove the plug with a 8mm HEX socket. Not sure where the other one is.
When I flushed my coolant all I did was drain the radiator, fill with water, run 5 minutes, repeated about 5-6 times. Doesn't get all the old stuff out but probably about 80-90%.
