radiator drain plug

I never change my drain plug when I coolant flush. seems a bit finicky to me. if your sure that's were your slow drip is coming from, is your car under pressure ? or is it constant but visible under pressure? I would shell out the 10 dollars and buy a new plug before renting a rad pressure tester. I bought one cause I like toys. that will confirm or deny your plug issue.

pliers hu? also seems a bit overkill to me. Hand tight should do the trick. possible you messed up gasket or the threads tightening that plastic screw so tight. purchase both replace. If you still see a leak rent a tester and confirm it.
