Greetings again,

My radiator is still leaking, but so slowly that I'm going to let it
be and
try to limp home as is.

The latest issue is with an old drain plug. My old plug has been used
and
abused and no longer has a head on it.

I thought a new plug would be easy to find, but apparently I have
something
special in my engine. Please look at these photos of the plug and
tell me if
what I have is unusual or where I can find the appropriate replacement.
