Hello. Can anyone tell me if there is a coolant drain plug on the
engine block in a 1991 Geo Metro? If so, where is it? I don't have
access to a lift, and I would rather not explore the underside in the
middle of winter.

Also, here's a general question. What is your preferred gasket dressing
or sealant for aluminum water pumps and thermostat housings? Sorry if
this was asked before, I was not able to find a relevant FAQ or recent
post. Thanks for any advice.

block about 2/3 of the way down from the top.
