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.
