Default Busted a hose

My son just called, thinks he just busted a radiator hose. It hasn't lost all the coolant, but did lose quite a bit. My questions:

- Where's the bleeder valve on the beast
- How much coolant does the system hold, have to do a guesstimate so as not to overfill

94 Z28 M6

Thanks in advance for any information.

the bleeder valve is on the top, near the alt.

don't worry about over filling it if theres to much it will just sit in the overflow tank

Good to know, thanks; closer investigation reveals that it's actually the water pump that decided to pinch a loaf on me. Thank goodness for warranties, doesn't look like the opti got too soaked (fingers crossed).

You failed to mention the other bleeder on the T stat housing. Just letting him know.
