just like the title says. i replacement the o-ring on the drain plug on my radiator from go autoworks (civic half core) but it seems that i may have a drip leak. but im looking for a better solution for a drain plug that will not leak. any suggestions?
Get an adapter that goes from the drain plug thread to a -6an and cap it with a -6 an cap. I have a -6an line running to my drain from the turbo. when i need to remove the line for some reason i put a -6an cap on. doesnt leak.

You're running water lines aren't you? I thought you were with what you had? So, just do what Dark_Teg suggested but instead of capping it off, run it to the turbocharger.. Easy Peasy, nice and Breazy..
different radiators use different threads, make sure you get the correct size and pitch fitting... I think the AN is a great idea, you can easily cap it off and if you ever need a water line for turbo etc its available
