ack! Where's my radiator drain plug?

Can't find the drainplug for the Behr replacement radiator in the W123 240D. Any help? Thanks!

If it woulda been a snake.....cheesy looking little blue screw on the bottom. It's not leaking but looks to me like it's designed to fail and I don't have spares handy close by. Objective is to replace the hoses anyway so I'm going to leave the drain alone and just go the hose route. Thanks!

That is one of the best radiator drain arrangements that I have ever encountered. The seal is provided by a replacable o-ring. It is quite reliable.
