Under the front of your car..from radiator to subframe is a plastic shield..remove it. Driverside of rad...at the bottom...basically out of view is the drain...
Other option would be to pull the lower radiator hose off the radiator.

Under the whole front end...if you get under car..see where the radiator is..follow the big plastic thing to the metal subframe..it covers the car..pretty much side to side and about 18-24 inches back.
The drain is on the driverside of the radiator

It'* not a cap, per say. It looks more like a large plastic wing nut. It will be on the driver'* side of the radiator bottom. Be careful when torquing it with a pair of pliers, so that you don't break it, if stuck.
