If there is no drain valve at the radiator you can drain the system at the drain valve on the boiler
It is just below the lower radiator hose.
There should be a drain valve where you can hook up a hose and then open the valve to drain.
To flush sediment from a hot water line, turn off the water heater, connect a garden hose to the drain valve, and run the other end of the hose to a drain. Open the drain valve and let the water flush out the sediment until it runs clear. Close the valve and turn the water heater back on.
"Easy"... That's probably using the built-in drain valve/petcock. Bottom - drivers side of the radiator.But then there's fast, and messy - pull the lower radiator hose.See "Related Questions" below for more details on both.

I have a 2001 4.7l. Mine had no drain valve on it. I just took off the lower hose and let it drain that way.
At the bottom front edge, there should be a hose connection. Attach a garden hose to it and then open the valve. Because sediment can collect at the bottom of the heater, they can drain slow sometimes, but it should drain eventually. Turn the heater off before draining.
You can drain it directly into a drain pipe. Just make sure the the top of the drain pipe is even with the top of the washing machine. If not, the water from the washing machine will drain all of the time. There is no valve in the machine to stop the water from draining. The washing machine drains using a pump motor.
No dont even think about putting a cap on it, its dripping for a reason, call a plumber to fix it, a hot water heater is a dangerous appliance and should not be dealt with lightly. If you have a drip, but can't fix it or get a plumber out right away, use a garden hose to route the water to a drain nearby. Most drain valves are threaded with garden hose fittings.
