Default 95 Maxima Transmission Oil Cooler Return

I wanted to replace the transmission fluid, so I can flush the the oil cooler & the torque converter, I needed to know the return line. Can somebody tell me which is the return line from the oil cooler (radiator)? Is it the passenger side (right) or the driver's side (left)?

Thanks in advance.

It's been a while since I used the return hose to flush the system, but I think is the passenger side. I try to service manual, but there is no information there.

Thanks Nissan Tech.
I saw this link YouTube - 10 Min Atomatic Transmission Fluid Flush + Replacement (Most Cars)
Because I don't have air compressor to blow the old fluid from the oil cooler (part of the radiator), is it not better to to open the return line to flush the old fluid, just before the fluid returns into the transmission?

Yes i'm trying to avoid trial & error to determine which is the return line.

Thanks again.

warm the car up and then let it cool down for say 20 min.
then have someone start the car and with your hand on the hoses you can find the warm out tube of the trans
