Yep, and I put thread sealer there too.

I had no problems until I switched to head studs. Same heads, then and now, last fall, it was on the pass. side , now its the drivers. And no I didn't swap heads, as the holes in front only allow me one way to install.

Could be the install of the studs. Did you leave it sit for a while after installing the studs and then torque the heads down later. This will make the already dry sealent crack and make for leaks.
