Its just behind the passenger side engine mount....easier to reach on some models than others...forget its size but is likely a 13 ir 14 mm hex head plug.

What's a good source for this citric acid? Is this concoction sold as a coolant rust removal agent? What about Prestone collant system flush? What's the active ingredient?

Could I use the left overs in my milk shake to get an extra dose of Vitamin C?

It's larger than this, Bone. IIRC, it's 17 or 19 mm.

I reused mine and it hasn't leaked a drop as well.

But, that might be because it has no coolant.
