Hello, I am currently out of the country and just received a message from my wife that her 2008 GXs Radiator Petcock is leaking.

replacement plug Part # or size?

Background:
Currently a Koyo replacement radiator in the truck (was put in in 2014) no leaks until this drain issue
200,000 mile service done 2 weeks ago and the radiator was drained and flushed, the petcock was used to drain.

I know this is a common issue from reading through the forum, but I see suggestions for replacing the drain with either a plastic one or brass one.

If anyone has a part number or fitting size for either it would be much appreciated as I am trying to limit the stress on my wife who will have to swap out the plugs herself as im not home to do it.

also, I have Oriellys, Autozone, and Napa close by so she can run to any of those to buy the new drain plug.

Any help/suggestions welcome.
 
Just an Update. Those part references worked perfect.

The original drain plugs o-ring was slipped half off.

Ya me too. I was a little nervous not being there to do it, but she said it went fine, quick swap out of the two plugs, minimal coolant lost, and she just added new coolant after.
