You might try that flexible rubbery black repair tape that you wrap tightly around a small leak, after which it sort of fuses itself to itself. Hardware stores typically carry it. Let it sit for a few hours before testing it.

Ive used seal all (yellow tube about 6 bucks at a hardware store) to seal tiny radiator leaks before.

That doesn't appear to even be the correct petcock for the radiator. I believe there should also be a rubber sealing washer that it tightens down on.

Looks like a leaky petcock to me.

I've seen those white plastic hex petcocks on several radiators. I don't know if they were the OEM part or aftermarket but they were definitely used in our trucks at some point.
