you have 6 bolts that go into the water jacket.
This is were the pissing match begins.
I use Permatex-2 on all the bolt threads.
Pull the bolt out find someone willing to hold there finger over the hole apply #2 to the bolt and reinstall.
I would do all 6 bolts if you did not use a sealant on any of the bolts.

Good morning THensley! Thanks for the advice.I did apply sealant but it was teflon paste.It’s only that one bolt.I ordered the #2 and will be using that.
I do like the teflon past from LOCTITE But bolt and threads need to be clean. Most sealers need clean threads but the #2 seems to work best for me.
Don't be stingy you will have plenty and if the other 5 aren't leaking chance it that's good stuff too.
