Default engine air leak

My savage SS engine start to leak air at the place of glow plug. Tightening glow plug won't help. I think there is a little air leak in the engine top thread because I used to unscrew the glow plug to check. I need advice on how to seal it.

Thanks

Are you sure you have a glow plug brass O ring inplace. It sits between the plug and the engine to create a seal.

You may just need a new 'button' for the engine. Thats the bit that the glow plug screws into. Check your heat sink bolts too.
