Default Radiator leaking

Hey guys,

Truck is 97' magnum club cab 5.9l 4x4


Link shows the problem.

The radiator is leaking right under the drain **** where the small valve is. I'm unaware of the parts of the plug that are internal. I got an o-ring, but didn't fix the problem. When the plug is in all the way, it's still leaking out the bottom. Any ideas why this is happening? I can't seem to find anything on this.

Thanks!

Probably the petcock itself thats leaking. You might be able to simply clean, or polish the end of it.... Unfortunately, need to remove it to see how things work there. Might be an internal o-ring that has failed.
