Hi Rob, the drain fitting is at the bottom right hand corner, usually hidden behind the cluster of ground wires bolted to the frame there. I forget the mm size but a deep reach with a 8 inch or longer extention run under/around/or through the wires makes it pretty quick work. The reason to test that side is that it is in the corner that gets the least flow. if you take the drain plug out and then put a small screwdriver or wire in from front to back, not forcing it just in as far as possible, and then pull it out and see if it's clean or has brown or gray crud on it. any stuff on it means that that side of the radiator is not flowing, and as i mentioned earlier you may only be getting a portion of the radiator surface area being used.
