Dimitiri, its on the starter side of the block, just in front of the starter above the engine mount arm. Its a 19mm plug... perhaps 17, but I'm fairly sure 19.
Its one of the those thing you need do some trial and error with to get at... above or below, extension or not, etc. I recommend removing this plug before draining the radiator and opening the cap... having no other opening in the system will significantly reduce the flow at first and give you a chance to get out of the way.
