Sounds like a frost plug in the side of the engine block. Look along side of the block.

I've found once a leak is detected, but cannot be precisely located, it's easier to get a radiator leak detector from a local place like autozone. It's usually a free loan-a-tool. It comes with a cap to place on the radiator, a pressure gauge, and hand pump. Affix the parts after filling the radiator with water. Pump up to a pressure of NO MORE than 12 pounds then look for the leak. The water will be squirting out in a stream which is easily seen. After fix, drain radiator and replace with 50/50 coolant.
