A friend of mine is putting headers on his Camaro and he said a drop of antifreeze came from one of the exhaust manifold bolts. He said maybe an hour to get half a teaspoon full. Mine didn't do this when I had the headers off minne but it didn't have coolant in it. IS this normal or is the head cracked?

The head could be cracked, but that's not very common. Someone probably previously broke a bolt off in the head and drilled crooked or more likely, too far into the head. Just use some sealant on the bolt and it will be OK.

Yup, just use a little thread sealer on it

If he used the stock manifold bolts he screwed it right into the water jacket. The stock bolts are too long for headers. I have seen this before.
