Radiator drain plug dripping

[FLX109]

Anyone ever had a problem with their drainplug leaking slightly, very little but would like to fix it and it seems to be on there pretty good, any easy fixes or do I have to drain out the antifreeze and take a chance of damaging the plug,
thanks

You've gotta take your chances and get it out. Make sure to have the right size allen wrench and it will snap loose with some torque. Once drained, put some teflon paste on the threads to prevent future leaks. Before doing that, make sure it isn't really leaking from the hose above.

You may want to heat it up a little to help loosen the allen head nut, But do it very slowly..you could ruin your radiator.

I did get it to move and turned it out just enough to add teflon tape and then screwed it back in and the leak is now gone.
thanks
