intake mainifold OIL LEAK????

[BUCKWHEAT]

Has anybody had a prob with oil leaking out of the intake manifold bolt hole's.Ihave a 2.5 turbo shadow and it just started leaking oil out of that hole and dripping on the exhaust mainifold. the eng has like 1500 miles on it.i am going to put some permatex on the bolt and see if that takes care of it. just started doing this.

on the 81 head I have here on my table, every other intake mani bolt is blind, but every other goes somewhere (I can blow air in)

i.e. starting from front of engine (crank & cam pulley side)

# 1,3,5,7 are blind (no sealant necessary)
# 2,4,6,8 are open into *something*

I would presume the later heads are similar

to avoid disturbing the gasket seal you prolly should take one out at a time, apply some sealant, replace/retorque .. move on to next

Think you it's number two from (crank & cam pulley side)
it's tight but after it warms up you can see bubbles spiting out from around the bolt head i was worried it might be a crack in the head up higher.

Be sure to clean all oil/grease form the threads with brake cleaner(leaves no residue, dries quickly) and use a teflon thread sealer.

Those holes go into the head bolt holes. A little RTV on the bolts on install takes care of everything.
