Block drain locations

Can anyone tell me where the block drains are on the V10. I think they are at the very front of the engine but I am not 100% sure. There is a lot of crap in the way. I don't want to remove the wrong thing. A photo would be real nice.

Also what color is the OEM antifreeze? Mine is a sorta Amber color but there does not seem to me any rust in it.

On the driver's side bank, it seems like there's a square plug about as far back as the oil filter. Easy to find and no problem.

Now the passenger's side is a different matter because its under the motor mount. Wouldn't be too much trouble though if you remove the engine first.......... Otherwise, its a PIA.
