The bolts actually go into the water jacket so they need to be sealed on
the threads before reinstalling them.

I loosened the two front right side bolts on the intake manifold of my 327
sbc
in preparation for installing a air conditioner bracket.  When I removed
these
bolts,
coolant came oozing out of these holes. It appears that the PO didn't do a
very good job of sealing around the water holes on the intake manifold
gasket.
What's the thoughts about having to remove the intake manifold and
replacing
the gaskets?

Thanks,
