    I changed my coolant over the weekend, for some reason I actually used the drain plug instead of pulling the lower rad hose like I usually do, now it's leaking :thumbsdown:
    I tried to put some ultrablue around the plug to fix it but it's still leaking a little bit, what else can I do ? Can I get a new plug, can't see them on TTZED or is it just a generic thing I can get from Repco/a rad shop ?

    Thanks,

    Matt.

    If it has an "O" ring seal then just replace that .

    Otherwise you could get some plumbers pipe teflon tape and wrap

    that around the thread..

    Really, the best way to drain the rad and all the crap and sediment is to take off the bottom hose anyway...
