A little PTFE tape wouldn't go amiss on the threads of the radiator valves.

Is this the cone joint from rad. tail to valve? Ensure both halves are clean and dry( I use a kitchen scourer) Then a spot of LSX silicone (plumbing sealant). Be aware that this joint will get hot, therefore expand, so always good to recheck joints when hot.

A bit of ptf tape around the threads helps. make sure you wind it on clockwise.

In theory these should be water tight. PTFE usually ensures it though.
