When the car is hot, presumably? Suspect a bad thermostat, stuck closed, a loose or missing water pump belt, a bad water pump, or low fluid-created air bubble @ the water pump.
Lower driver's side of the radiator, facing the engine. Best reached from the top with the engine cool. Don't want to burn yourself on the exhaust manifold or radiator hose!
The radiator cools the water which then goes to your engine to cool it off, as cool water enters your engine hot water from the engine enters your radiator
There should be a drain plug on the lower driver's corner of the radiator. Needless to say, the engine should be cool before you do this.

Water swishing noise may be due to a seriously underfilled radiator-- the shop rushed the job and did not clear the air pocket inside the engine. With cool engine, remove radiator cap, and ensure the coolant is right up to the lower lip of the filler neck. Replace cap, and drive. Recheck again the next time engine is cool. Also, make sure your coolant reserve bottle is at least 1/3 full when cold. Remember, never remove a radiator cap when the engine is at all warm.
Let the engine cool down. Locate the lower water hose at the bottom of the radiator. Unfasten the clamp or clamps, pull on the hose and the water comes out.
Radiator stores engine coolant for circulation throughout the engine The radiator is placed at the front of the engine and exposed to the atmosphere to keep coolant cool to maintain proper engine temperature
The best way to cool down an overheated car engine is to park the vehicle. Allowing the engine to cool down naturally avoids all potential hazards and it is also safer for the engine. If you must start the cooling process immediately, pour cool water over the radiator and upper and lower hoses.
Oil is not a coolant, it is a lubricant, but it keeps the engine lubricated to prevent friction, which reduces heat and makes is run cooler. Water in the radiator, and the radiator fan, is what keeps the engine cool.
Look for a radiator cap and add it there.Look for a radiator cap and add it there.
The plug is in the lower passenger side of the radiator below the oil cooler line When the motor is cool stick your hand up behind the radiator and turn the plastic valve.
The radiator sensor in a Toyota Echo is typically located near the radiator itself, often positioned on the radiator or in the upper or lower radiator hose. This sensor monitors the temperature of the coolant to help regulate the engine's temperature. If you need to access it, make sure the engine is cool and follow the vehicle's service manual for specific instructions.
