I have never seen one leak, but there is an o-ring inside that seals off on the nose of the tube when it's installed. It's a pain to get out and almost as hard to get back in. You'll need a VERY small right angle pick to get in there and behind the o-ring to pull it out. It's possible that you just have something in there preventing the seal?

Since its the lower, I would bite the bullet and pull the radiator. Flush it while your replacing the oring. Couple hours of work
