Hello listers
I just got my new 4cyl flathead running like a kitten.

However, a few of the head bolts have anti freeze slowly oozing out under
them...
What gives here ???
The temp is normal
oil pressure is 25LB - idle
60 Lb at above idle.

Help I think I should glue silicone under each bolt head.

Any info as to why it leaks on some.and how others have solved the leak
Have torqued the head down and still no real cure???
