I have a 2009 5.0 I discovered one of the blue plastic cooling drain plugs in the bilge and cannot find a home for it. I have found 5. Block and manifold on either side, and one on the elbow coming out of the water pump. Any help much appreciated.

I've been seriously considering that one was dropped during installation and has been rattling around. My coolant is full, I have run up to operating temperature at the berth with no signs of leakage, but have been afraid to take it out.

Yes the item on the left is the power steering cooler

Could use your serial number to help verify because I am unable to find a 5.0 with closed cooling at BAM. Look on the port side down low following the hose coming from the PS cooler to the heat exchanger. There should be another a tube with a fitting to be drained during winterization. I don't see the hose in this pic
