coolant leak

I have this small amount of coolant leak from the radiator's drain screw. I was wondering if I can unscrew this and wrap a plumber style white tape and screw it back to stop the leak?

Any comment suggestion is greatly appreciated!

Where is the coolant leaking from, the treads or out the outlet hole? If threads, then Teflon tape will do, if out the hole the valve is not seating.
