Draining radiator

[firstone]

I have an 05 xlr. Trying to drain the rad. but can't locate rad drain plug. I have been under there twice but can't locate it. Is there a shroud or anything to remove to get access, or maybe the 05's didn't have drain plugs?
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Larry

My 2004 has a drain plug on the radiator, easy to see from underneath. It is on the rear side bottom and is in what I think of as the 'usual GM position' though it drains rearward, others I have seen drain downward.

Thanks for the info.
I will look again. It has to be there!

I'm sure you know this, but be sure to capture the fluid and take to an auto parts store for recycling. My father-in-law, he just lets in drain into the driveway, and I wince every time he does this...

Yes thanks for the warning. Definately won't go down the drain.
Also, found the drain plug OK and got the job done.
