Freeze Plug Help

Hey everyone, I noticed my truck slowly dripping coolant from one of the freeze plugs. The freeze plug was rusted over pretty bad, so I got a wire brush, cleaned all the rust off, and went ahead and replaced the freeze plug as well. Now my problem is it's still dripping from the freeze plug. Did I install the freeze plug wrong? I put it in straight, and used two hammers; one to hold it in place while I used the other to knock it in. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Alright, well I fixed the problem yesterday. I just took the freeze plug out, out a little sealant around the opening and put the plug back in. Now no more dripping. Thanks anyway guys.
