Default coolant leak

The last few months anytime I would pull my BackDraft out of the garage I would find a small area about 2 or 3 inches in diameter where coolant had dried. I've had my car a little over a year now and the leak is so small I've never had to add coolant to the tank. The other day while changing the oil I thought I'd investigate where it was leaking from. It appears that it's seeping coolant around the radiator drain plug because I can see an oily residue from the anti-freeze. I checked the plug for tightness and it's fine. Is there an O-ring or washer style gasket that might be going bad? Any other BackDraft owners had this issue?

Thanks and have a great weekend......Don
