I'm having same problem. I attempted to change entire plug, as O-rings not available at dealer, which turned it from a weep to a flow ;D

Need to get the right sized O-rings from somewhere ;D
Mine had a slight drip and mr DTM gave me two sets of two different sizes.....It was the bigger one  ;D ;D

He's got tons of them in his garage  :y

Bet your new plug was a black one Jaime - if so its slightly different in design to the original orange one, and when fitted will leak like a sieve.  Trick is fit the o-rings from the black one to the orange one, refit orange one and voila no leak  :y

It was black, and it did leak like a bitch. Will swap O-rings over next time I have a spare set of hands available (as its all new antifreeze)
