The water pumps tend to slowly leak on these, it may be leaking slowly, usually it leaves a coolant residue on the front of the engine and near the front of the oil pan. It is temp sensitive, usually leaks cold and stops leaking when warm
check antifreeze level add if low, and check intake heat control valve on ps side of intake if its locked shut it can be removed and a water pipe nipple put in place of it and the heater hose reconnected..if the water pump is good, it should give heat this valve should be on the intake with a heater hose connected to it..and its vacuum operated but will jam shut with age and cold weather..good luck..
Some models do not have a petcock, pulling the lower radiator hose will suffice in drainage. I suspect you know what you are doing since you have the correct nomenclature. Use extreme caution during this type of draining procedure when coolant is hot. If it is not on the lower left or right corners of radiator side facing engine, it is not equipped with a drain valve.
