Unhappy Freeze Plug Leak...HELP!!

I just finised installing a set of brand new LS6 heads, and today i noticed a small slow consistant dribble of coolant coming from the front of the passenger head freeze plug.

What can I do with out tearing everythin apart?
Has anyone run into this?
Suggestions?

Thanks

K&W Block Seal fixed my heater core and a freeze plug in my F250 last weekend. It has also fixed a few sbc head gaskets for me back in the day. But it also isn't hard to change the plug out if you can see it. Not sure if this helps but good luck.

Since it on the front of the head, you should be able to replace it without too much trouble. You can knock it out and replace with a new one. When replacing it, make sure to put a small amount of silcone around the new plug before installing it. If you decide to do this, give us a call and we can get you taken care of on the new freeze plug or you can get one at any local parts store.
