Default Engine Drain plug

So I am trying to change the coolant in my 96 Cherokee 6 cyl., but can't find the engine drain plug. I know it is on the lower left side of the block, but can't find it. Can anyone give me any tips? I know this is a stupid question, but I don't know a ton about cars, as you can tell, haha. Thanks a lot for all the help.

There's a drain block plug on the left side of the engine block, persediure says to remove the Radiator grill, but i dont know if that's necessary. It's near the Temp. sensor for refrence if u can't find it. hook a tub up to it for no mess or just let it run if you don't give a **** about mess.

I have a 96 also and you do have to remove the grill . Theres 8 screws and its not that hard to do. Or you can remove the bottom rad hose. Either way will work. I wouldnt remove the temp sensor though. You wont flush it right, the hole is too small and on top of the motor. 2xs on the flexie straw for no mess.
