I seem to have a drip from my radiator drain plug ( did a coolant change a few weeks back ) ,i have done it up quite tight and did not want to tighten any further in case i break it as it's plastic,do they have a  rubber seal on the plug ?

Yes, they have two satndard rubber O rings.

Tightening it further makes little difference (other than it might seal on the metal washer a bit.

As said, two O rings. All you'll do is break something by over tightening.  Wink

Be careful as you can break it if you over tighten it! As I found out..... Roll Eyes
