Weeping seacock for main's seawater intake.. Question! (1969 Ericson 32)

Hello all,
Just recently acquired my 1969 Ericson 32. She has a weeping seacock on starboard side for the main seawater intake.
It seems like I could grease it to minimize the weeping. Has anyone elsefixed this issue before and if so what did you do? I am hesitating to tighten it up, so am wondering if anyone else has come across this and how it was dealt with. Thanks!

Welcome aboard the Ericson Forum.

I don't see harm in tightening the grease cup--and making sure it still has grease in it.

That's quite a hunk of bronze you have. Presume the leak is from the body of the valve, not at the through-hull....
