Welcome to DF

If you asking about the petcock on the radiator, Yes you can replace just the rubber o-ring on the valve. The only problem is the part is sold only with the radiator. You will need to buy an o-ring from a parts stores and hope they have one.

 

i was able to stop it from leaking,hammer it back in gently, would like to replace it with old type im used to, open plug wing tube, petcock that worked for years ,most cars had. guess cant be done on this type rad,ill just pull bottom hose when needed....................thanks for reply.
