If it's a very serious problem with no other solution, try putting some very small "Bob Punch" marks around the recess in the block where the frost plug fits in to make it a slight interference fit. This combined with a good sealing and semi hardning compound normally will do the trick - only be careful ! I have done this with a 800hp engine which had the same problem and which was possibly due to a new batch of frost plugs we received onboard.
