Water leak at exhaust port
 

Dear Jeep Gurus',

I have a problem. I swapped a 360 from an '80 Wagoneer into my '79
CJ7. I ran it until it warmed up and I noticed antifreeze dripping
from one of the header bolts. The leak is coming from the passenger's
side on the bolt in front of the second exhaust port.

How do I diagnose the cause of the leak?

TIA,
Greg

In the future always coat the treads with Permatex silicone whether
or not they go through to the water jacket.
