"Boosted" doesn't really make any difference.
Somebody either put in a bolt that was too long and busted through, or drilled too deep to Heli-Coil the hole, or something like that; and hit the water jacket. Not a big deal, not related in any way to "boost". As said, put some thread sealer on the bolt and put it back in, should be fine.
If you're the one that busted it out, maybe get a shorter bolt.

OK Thank you very much I thought I caused something very bad, it was stressful, but seems like an easy fix, going to drain the coolant, Probably going to go up a bolt size from an M8 to M9, it has to be modified from an M10. With a tap set.

You will REGRET changing the bolt size. That makes a big mess you have to fight for all eternity in ways that are hard to even imagine in the moment of lazying out.
Just heli-coil it back to the right size, put high-temp sealer on the bolt threads, and be done with it.

Update: ok well tried resizing that bolt like the others, but I didnt want to push it to far, so oem M8 is back on thank God its holding 18 ft lbs with red high temp rtv, letting it cure for 24hrs, then adding coolant in the am, Thanks for all your helps.
By the way I have 2 M9 bolts holding the headers real well, 2nd from far left and lowest one in the middle.
