Anyone Else Having Problems Sealing...
 
Up their head studs??

I have anti-freeze in my spring area again, but on the other side of the motor!!!!

Oil is clear, just under the valve cover.

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.
