Radiator drain plug housing is leaking it looks like but not sure how to fix it or if this is actually the issue this is a brand new radiator also installed brand new expansion tank, expansion tank bracket, transmission cooler thermostat, and coolant line fitting connecting to the expansion tank anyone have any ideas?

Brand new radiator? That looks chewed up already
Can you confirm where it is leaking from exactly?
Yea its leaking from there
Just all around the drain plug
Did you buy anything open this here?
I’m sure there is an O Ring or a gasket that goes there. Maybe it’s missing
O ring was there im guessing the flow adjuster or what ever its called is faulty
GG @rancid gazelle, you just advanced to level 5! Chat more to level up and earn top roles!
But it’s brand new
Yea i just dont see what else it could be has a o ring radiator is brand new from fcp euro
Remove the petcock and see if the o-ring had rolled itself.
O Ring may not have been fitted in properly
So got it working o ring looked to be in good shape but was loose on the flow adjuster for some reason so got a new one and worked
Just might have a additional issue later on was filling up the expansion tank and for some reason a bunch of fluid gushed out some where for a second and then stopped no leak though so no idea but that will be a later problem
