I had a similar experience on my 100. It turn out to be not the stud, but =
rather a small aluminum "cover" on the front of the engine block. If I rem=
ember correctly, the cover was about three inches tall by two inches wide =
and and about 1/4 thick, and because it was aluminum, it had eroded away u=
nevenly, some of the aluminum "eaten" away and it was dripping, a slow lea=
k. The "eating" was caused by the two different metals touching and introd=
ucing "coolant" into the mix.=0A=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0Russ Thompson and I foun=
d a piece of aluminum in his shop, used the old cover as a pattern and cut=
a new one on a band saw and then drilled the holes for the studs. Took us=
two tries to get the size and drill holes correct, but with a little sand=
ing, we matched the shape of the old one, and were able to bolt everything=
back together. I can't remember if we made a gasket or not, but it didn't=
leak any more and lasted until I lost my car.=0A=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0Not sur=
