Dave, slide a mirror between the firewall and backside of the head. It's a tight fit but there should be at least 3/4" clearance. The plug should be on the drivers side of the head. You will see a slot for a hex wrench, can't remember what size but probably 4mm to 6mm. The plug has an aluminum crush washer. There should be just enough room to fit an alan hex wrench on and tighten. As mentioned, I did find mine loose and before tightening, I was loosing a quart a week. It's worth a check.......Don't know if anyone mentioned, but you will also need to remove the radiator first to get to the hex bolt to get the fan clutch off.
Good Luck...............
