I am looking for the drain plug on my bird and it does not seem to be in the usual spot. Would you, kindly, direct me to this plug so I can drain and flush my system. Also, would the Prestone fast flush cause any damage to my system. The cooling system has what seems to be rusty water. No problems with cooling or coolant gauge.

Look for a white plastic drain on the bottom of the radiator, yoou may need to remove the shield under the car, if it has one. Use prestone fast flush and the flush tee, run till clear!
