John,

Someone else had this issue just a few weeks ago, maybe can make some
experienced suggestions.

Best case, it is just water that got in the channel and is boiling off.
Worst case, cracked block.

If it does not boil off I would try some sealant on the bottom threads of
the stud. 

Could be a small disfigurement in the head gasket or some bits of debris.
If all looks good, loosen and re-torque everything.

Hi all,
running my TR2 engine again, for about 15mins this time, and having a good
look round. I noticed bubbles of water rising up from between the nut and
the thread of the centre head stud on the manifold side. A cause for concern
or no?
Regards
John
