Leaking Heater Control Valve?

Has anyone had a leaking heater valve? I had antifreeze pooling on the bottom lip of the valve on the outside. I just replaced it today and i will be checking to see if it fixed my problem.

Mine leaked on my car on the bottom of the valve before I replaced it. Didnt give me any problems as it would seal itself when it got hot.
