the lower bolts (or was it upper? brain fart) thread into the water jacket. some coolant coming out with the bolts is normal.

The block drain plug is towards the front of the block. It is obvious because it is the only bolt that doesn't bolt anything up to the block. It is a allen head bolt which is probally near impossible to get out. I tried mine and just rounded off the socket I used. Maby a few days soaking in PB Blast.
