Default Coolant bleeder valve

Where is the coolant bleeder valve? I poped my hood the other day looking for it and I couldn't find it. I read in a previous post its on the front of the engine. Is it visiable from the top or only from below? I saw there is a plastic guard below the radiator area. Possibly this is blocking me from seeing it?

This will be my first coolant flush so any tips are welcome.

If I am not mistaken,
Stand at the front of your car and look straight down (in between the two fans) you will see a little white plastic valve at the base of the radiator, that should be it...

you should be able to see it from standing infront of the car looking down at the radiator

There are two bleeders. The first one is on the intake manifold at the very front as seen in this picture.




The second one is on the aluminum tube that runs across the firewall behind the valve cover. There is a little black nipple that is removed. I find pouring fluid into the back opening makes bleeding much quicker.
