Oil on exhaust manifold stud???
i just recently found oil on the center lower stud/bolt that connects the exhaust manifold to the cyl head. Nothing above it or below it... just the stud coming out of the head is soaked in oil. STRANGE... its like its leaking from the hole where the stud resides? Has anyone experienced this? Is there an oil galley/passage that runs near the exhaust manifold studs in the head? Could it have possibly cracked leaking oil to it? No visible cracks on the head and its not like this stud is sitting any deeper than the rest. Was never over torqued either.... just really weird.
No ill effects yet... but i can't see how this could be good...

The exhaust mani studs are threaded thru the head and into a oil gallery. There is a pic somewhere on evom proving this.
Just put some high temp sealant on the stud and put it back in.
