how to empty coolent from radiator?

[SilentRacer]

I'm trying to pour conditioner into my radiator to hopefully plug a hole where coolent seams to leak from. When I open the radiator cap, the coolent is near the top, how do I empty it out to pour in the conditioner?

So did you finally found the hole or jsut trying to solve problem without knowing where its coming from??

Pull the bottom radiator hose off, it should all drain right out.

I don't know where the hole is and the mechanic who pressurized it couldn't find it eather although he said there is a moist spot on the radiator...may need to apoxy over it. Anyway, I want to try the easy solution first and see if that fixes it.

Go the better solution - Koyo alloy radiator

Dont know about your car, but the My BD has a petcock on the lower passenger side of the radiator. Unfortunately the idiots who designed it didnt leave a nipple to put a hose on it, so you get coolant everywhere when you drain it.

thats ok, the amount of times i had to refill coolent made it go everywhere already.
