Default Coolant bleeder screw leaks when tightened

Anyone else had this problem? It's Saturday, and the dealer's closed. I hope the parts store sells them.

you could just run an npt plug until you can get to the dealer.
use sealer or so since the threads are bspt and not npt, but it will work

Clean out the threads, apply teflon paste (NOT TAPE), then try again
