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.

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.
