I too, took a long time looking for the plug on my 99 LX 4 cyl. And it
was on there pretty damn tight, but I did get it loose. I was
disappointed when I too, had a very small amount of fluid dribble out.
It puzzled me too, it didn't look like pure coolant, it was sort of
oily. I wonder what the deal is.

Next time I change the coolant, I have no plans to loosen that bolt
again.

p.s. After I tightened it, w/ no sealer etc. I have had no leaks from
it.
