I believe you drain from the bottom of the radiator

There are 2 drain cocks in the block - front bank and rear bank.

The following image is from section 14/Magna Engine Cooling of the workshop manual:

I am sorry for the poor drawing, but it is the fault of the workshop manual - not me.

I have not tried to reach these on my car, but I believe that they are somewhat difficult to reach.

On a 380, I believe that there are also the "cats" in the way, which may make things more difficult.

The threads need coating with sealant when reinstalling.
