Foil seal in Radiator

It's just been one of those days... I woke up this morning and decided to flush my radiator. I went out and bought a bottle of Prestone flush/cleaner. I popped a hole in the foil seal of the bottle and started pouring it into the radiator. Then the little foil seal on the bottle popped right off and flowed right into the system... No idea where to go from here... Lil help?

Well, if you haven't started the engine and the lower hose is on the same side as the radiator cap, you can remove the lower hose and it should fall out. I have heard of others doing similar and leaving it in there but don't think any problems developed. It would bug me though and I'd want it out.

But as said it will NOT hurt anything, it will setting at the bottom and won't clog up the cross flow tubes
