Radiator Drain Leaking

I have a 2008 Fleetwood Terra XL with the Workhorse chassis and the 8.2 engine. I had the coolant changed and discovered after being parked for two months it had lost 1 1/2 gallons of coolant. After looking over the bottom side I found the loss came from a small leak in the radiator drain on the lower driver's side. It's plastic with a square protruding tab rather than a hex or square head. It has a small drain tube attached. I'm guessing a bad o ring but I'm not sure if I should twist or pull this tab. It's some type of plastic that doesn't look like it will take much abuse. If it requires a twist which way is open and which is closed? I'm tempted to just plug the drain tube and forget it but any advice would be great.

A better way. Clockwise is tighter, counterclockwise loosens.
