Where is the location of cooling system drain plug on block?

I just can't seem to find it. Replacing the timing belt and going to do the water pump while I'm at it.

Thanks,

Is there one? I just had a bucket under the water pump when I did mine yesterday. It worked fine. Sorry I can be more help.

Just checked the manual... there is no drain on the block, only the radiator drain plug.... check the manual here for the location (Page 3 or 1-12-3):
