anti freeze leaking from head bolt
anti freeze leaking from head bolt Anyone know what the cause of anti freeze leaking around the front head bolt would be from? I just got new tsp 5.3 heads installed and im gonna take it back to the shop but there are some other things wrong with some other things i got done too so i'm questioning their work.
wow thats just great ! I got a new ls6 intake with bigger injectors too and one of em is leakin real bad ! They tuned the car and an hour after driving it the check engine light came on ! 
More than likely it's related to improper installation or preparation. It could be very serious, or perhaps that specific bolt wasn't torqued correctly. Either way it's hard to say until you tear it apart. Haved you checked the oil for coolant and how much coolant has the car lost?
No i haven't. I was going to wait for some feedback/troubleshooting before i messed with anything. I'll probly go outside soon and check to see if the bolt wasn't torqued properly and check the oil. Man i'm pissed because now that i think about it i should probably tow the damn thing with the leaking fuel all over the place and the shop is a lil over an hour from my home !

Verdad Gallardo well there is some little hose that connects to a nipple over the head bolt so maybe thats were the coolant is coming from but i thoughtthat was some sort of vacuum and maybe the fuel is coming from the fuel rail and dripping. oh well guess i'll find out soon enough.
Yeah i might just have to bring a baseball bat!

Check the injectors where they are attached to the fuel rail. It could be a pinched o-ring, which could be the problem. Also check to make sure the fuel rail/injector assembly is properly seating into the intake itself.
i have the same issue with one of my head bolts, my left rear lower bolt leaks a little but because its so hard to get to i just said the hell with it and will fix it some day.
