1199-leaking radiator drain bolt- need fix ideas!

greggiacona · Apr 11, 2022

Hello, I recently replaced my OEM 1199 radiator with an aftermarket one (stock one had a stripped drain screw-could not remove it ), new one seems to be a very nice unit, cools just fine, but the new drain plug has a slight drip to it.

I’ve got a rubber washer currently on there with the plug tightened down securely but still getting a drip.

Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions on how to improve the situation?

Many thanks in advance!
