Here is what I do, if a freeze plug leaks a little bit and the plug is good just dump a tube of Alumiseal into the old radiator and don't over pressure the system with a high pressure cap.
When my motor was brand new I put a very high pressure cap on it to help with the cooling, result one of the freeze plugs started leaking. Went to a 10# cap and alumiseal...stopped it, that was five years ago..no leaks now.
I carry n extra in my tool bag..just in case.
