Coolant leak

I am not all that famliar with the ins and outs of these trucks, so this may be a stupid question, but i still need to ask about my 99 f350. On the bottom of the radiator where the drain plug is.....right on the bottom corner there is some type of rubber gasket or plug (do not know). And i think my leak is coming from there....very small leak, but still have to put coolant in every once in a while. Where would this leak be from? I checked all the hoses and they are fine.

Do a pressure test of the cooling system to verify where the actual leak is. Coolant can leak down from above or from the water pump or lower hose and track down to the radiator making you think it is coming from there.
