What would cause coolant to seep ftom Header bolt???
I have about 1 hour of run time on my LQ9, and I started to see coolant seeping from only one header bolt. This worries me... Headers are Edelbrock A-body swap headers installed with bolts that came with kit and anti-seize. Does this seepage mean there is a crack in the water jacket and it is spilling into the header bolt hole??? Thanks!!!

Take the header bolt out and see if there is a a bigger leak, somebody could have bottomed out a bolt in that hole and crack or broken out the bottom of it. If that's the case put some sealer on the bolt. I've used thwe copper colored permatex silicone when I ran in to this issuse on a non-LS motor with aluminium heads
