thread sealing compound (a bit too permanent I would think) or something

Glad of any advice.

Does it actually NEED sealing - ie is it going to leak coolant or does it
screw into a blind pocket? I'd simply put a smear of anti sieze or a
corrosion inhibiting heat sink compound on the thread if there's no leakage
likely

It is potentially going to leak coolant.
