Where are they? How does everone go about going from straight water to a 50/50 mixture?

I just use 50/50 all the time, no chaning necessary. I know this has been discussed before, but long ago. Im pretty sure there's one on the front of the block, which isnt very handy given all the shit they stuck right there. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

right now there is all water in it. I replaced the timing cover gasket not knowing if the leak would be fixed or not so i added all water. Now one of the bolts i took off when taking the timing cover off let a bunch of coolant leaked out, so is that the one. I didn't know if it would mess up my gasket or not.

I flush out water in the block by running the car (stating with a cold engine), heater on, with the radiator top hose disconnected at the radiator. I fill the radiator with 50/50 mix (I mix pure and distilled water myself ) and continuosly add mix as needed while the car warms up. when the thermostat opens out gushes the water. when the water turns into fresh coolant, you've gotten as much out as you can... hook the hose back up.
