Answer
Hi Dalton,
I am not familiar with there being a secondary drain plug on the Chrysler radiators, but you didn't mention the year or model or engine of your car so I can't be sure. I would be surprised if the leak came from a second drain bolt/fitting. Rather, I would look closely at the area of the core that is directly above the bolt to see if you can see wetness on the cooling fins which would indicate a leak in one of the tubes which is migrating to the bolt area from above by gravity. But just in case, tell about the specifics of your car. Use the "thank and rate" tab to respond and write your message in the comments section.
