radiator sensor plug fell out! 200

Dammit! I replaced my radiator about 6 months ago, and wondered why I kept losing coolant. Well, it must have been coming out of the plug where the sensor is supposed to go (on whatever model has a sensor), because i just went o refill the tank and water just flowed straight out of that hole. Can anyone recommend a way to plug that hole? Has anyone has this problem. Frickin' aftermarket parts. Grrrr! That's what I get for going cheap, I guess.

IPD sells the plugs for $1.50. I'm sure you could get one from a local radiator shop.

I had the same problem, I went to a local auotparts store and picked up a rubber freeze plug. It took a little tinkering to get the plug to fit correctly, be sure not to over tighten the plug. That solved the leak for nearly a year now. Hope this helps, best of luck.
