But, John, it's not the threaded portion that leaks.... No threads on stem
of the petcock. Seems to me, like Tom said, these either stop leaking
because they get full of crud or people just plug the hole. As it is, the
valve is located just above the starter so that's where it drains! I'm
guessing that if anyone wanted to drain their engine block, they'd just use
the radiator petcock instead.
