It is on the bottom left side drivers side. I would not undo it, mine was broken in half I just remove the bottom radiator hose and have something to catch the fluid then put hose back on and refill and vent system.

Don't forget to open the vent bolt near the top of the engine to bleed out the air in the system.

If it does break, get a soldiering iron, heat it up, and stick it on the broken-off plug. Then hammer in a screwdriver, let it cool, and turn to remove.
