They're behind the valve guide protectors on the crankcase.

I've never drained mine but I think it'd be quicker to disconnect/remove the lowest
rubber coolant pipe & either the radiator or expansion bottle cap.

This may help:

otherwise I'd jack the back end up(so radiator is below)
the rear end level & disconnect the bottom pipe from the radiator & the
radiator cap & the expansion bottle cap.

Best of luck.
