Coolant leak from male flange. Missing plug?

[Pioneer1989]

1989 pioneer been running great. Yesterday lost coolant in about 2 miles.  Here’s a pic. It’s on the bottom left of radiator diagonal to radiator cap. The tip has a drop of coolant about to drip. Appears to be a male flange. No loose tube in sight.  Did I lose a plug?  Help please. Thanks

Kind of hard to see in the pic, but if it’s on the opposite corner from your filler neck, yes, that’s the drain petcock. There should be a stopper in there. They typically screw up from underneath that flange.

Cool thanks!  Yes it’s opposite corner from filler. Sorry tough to get better pic

I’m not sure it has threads. It’s horizontal. Looks like a flange of sorts. But I’ll try to find a plug. Appreciate your reply. Thanks!

The plug should screw up from underneath to shut off flow. The end is exposed because you would put a hose on it to drain the radiator into a bucket or something.

Leaking from the open flange. It’s turned horizontal. Is there a tube I’m missing or a plug?

Ok thanks. I’ll try replacing it. Or Maybe it’s just loose
