    Hello "F"-Chatters,

    Question: The collant diagram shopw that the little coolant drain cock on the engine should be in the front (behind driver's seat), mine appears to be in the back by the trunk area. Am I seeing things or is this not a drain cock?

    Thanks,

    Chris.

    I know for sure there is one on the forward side of the engine, not sure about the rear bank though. Good luck getting to it and getting it open.

    For some strange reasons, you will find some cars with the drain cock toward the front (mine), and some car with the drain toward the back (Peter's)

    Only one drain though, and they all work the same way.
