Default Coolant leaking out Motor Mounts?

I just replaced my old stock motor mounts with the solid ones from Spohn, and while running the motor (LS1) I notice coolant streaming out one of the bolts that holds the mount to the block. Has this happened to anyone else? Is it possible that I screwed into a water jacket by accident?

i think if you screwed it into a water jacket (highly unlikely) then it would have failed the first time you drove it and got it up to temp. What i would check it to see if some how the block cracked, or maybe a blown head gasket or any other traces of coolant running down that side.

Give the manufacture a call! I am sure they will help.
Thanks

Yes, there is some dripping out the head gasket only on the right side of the motor. Thanks for the advice guys!

Hello
Seeing how they are Spohn solid motor mounts give them a call and see if they have any advice. Like we do with our customers that have issues with our products. Because if the manufacture doesn't step in and help sometimes the situation gets blown way out of proportion. It was just a suggestion.
Thanks Again
Brad
