Bleeding coolant from exhaust bolt?

[Bob Rossato]

Well he did say he was back after a long hiatus.  I guess it was really,
really long.

Of course none of this is getting Richard an answer to his question.  So,
I'll take a stab.  I'm assuming you're referring to one of the studs for the
exhaust manifold?  My first thought was a cracked head, but the more I think
about it I'm leaning towards a previous owner drilling out a busted stud and
drilled into the water jacket behind the stud.  I'm not familiar with this
head so I don't know if there is even a water jacket in that area.  Just a
guess.  If that is the case, short of replacing the head, the only thing you
could do is try to seal the threads somehow.
