And while it does not sound like the cause of your current problem be aware that the original steel drain plug can rust to the threaded tank side opening. If you need to remove the plug for any reason, be sure and hold the tapered tank side fitting with something like a small pipe wrench or large pliers as you try to remove it. The tank side is sort of pressed in and crimped over on the inside of the sheet metal and if there is rust, not holding the fitting will usually allow it to turn and generally causes a leak which is very hard to repair. If you do remove the original steel plug it is a good idea to replace it with a brass plug.
