Hey Guys,
So the drain plug on my CJ5 radiator is leaking very slowly. I tightened it down a bit, but it didn't make any difference. I'm worried about tightening it down too hard because its made of plastic, and could break. Any solutions on how I could stop the leak? Maybe take the plug out and replace it with a steel bolt?
Thanks!
Josh
