sorry cre yr losing my respect, no harm intended.

the drain plug is the same drain plug I unscrewed.

it may just happen that this is a rare occurence.

U have helped me out alot with the cyclinder head covers, for which I am grateful.

EDIT: GROMMETS in Ireland are different than grommets in USA, rubber backed washers and 12 of them there are is accurate.

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.

Huh? No idea what I'm "losing your respect over" but ok....

Whatever it is called doesn't matter much as long as we know we're both talking about the same thing. The point is that there should already be a seal of some sort on the drain plug... if there's not and it never came with one then it's not something I'm familiar with.
