lower coolant hose

Hi all,
This may be a stupid question, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Where is my lower coolant hose on my 2007 MCS? I want to change my coolant tomorrow and I don't want to just go and pull at things until I find it.
Thanks in advance,
Tyler

Should be low near the lowest part of your front bumper, it droops along the bottom.

It's there, can't miss it:

Usually, you just undo one of the clamps at the plastic connector (#11 on the diagram) to drain the old coolant.

That's as close to a drain port you'll find on these MCS.

Yeah I wish it was easy as turning a screw loose, but you can't have the best of both worlds when you get a car as cool as a mini.
