[TR] Small coolant leak

[bill beecher]

Chronic problem there, I just finished fooling with mine a few weeks back.  Cleaned it real good then spent a few minutes just working it back and forth to try and seat the valve. So far so good, but I haven’t been able to take a long drive yet.   I have also been able to stop the leak with a light tap on the top of the valve spindle. 

Seriously considering just plugging the hole if this doesn’t hold.

I have noticed a small coolant leak from my TR3 and have traced it to the handle assembly of the water drain tap on the side of the block. Anyone else had this issue? It's a new tap and don't know what the fix might be. It's not leaking from where the tap threads into the block... Thanks in advance for any BTDT advice...
