753 leaking coolant from drain valve

[lakerfan76]

my 753 is leaking coolant out of the drain valve. anyone know if there is a replaceable seal inside of the valve? should I just buy a new one? or should i just remove the old one and put a plug in it. any input would be appreciated.

I had one like that, i removed it and put a plug in it. When i drain coolant, i just drop the bottom hose anyway.

You can try opening and closing it a few times (slightly forcing it fully open and fully closed) with gloves or pliers. Probably some corrosion and you are not getting it closed all the way.
