Mike, i can assume that you re-torgued the head a time or to and did the
head studs get set in the block ok ? I had the same issue at the same
corner, water was weeping up the stud threads and coming out at the nut and
washer area, i let it set till morning, and gave it another torgue and that
took care of it.........Mark P
