passenger side lower corner there will be a draincock. to flush the reservoir just stick a hose in it until the water runs clear.

reconnect....refill run...drain...repeat?

The drain is there its a pain to get at but it works. Had to remove the headlight bezel on my '01. Taking the grill off would have made it much easier.
