leaking header bolt

[freshayr]

I have fluid showing up on my starter. It appears as though it is comming from the last exhaust port on the drivers side. I put RTV on the end header bolts when I installed. Last night, I pulled the bolt on the rear driver's side and put RTV on it again. I let it set 24 hours and drove the car tonight. It still appears to be leaking. Anybody have any secrets to get it to stop?

Hello
Try using teflon pipe tape this may work. It sounds like the hole is a little enlarged you may want to run a tap thru it also incase it has a rough spot.Also are you positive it is leaking from there and not somewhere else? Freeze plug ?
Good luck

i am not 100% sure. The fluid is showing up on the starter. If I shine the light up in there I see drips hanging from the header flange right under the last exhaust port.

I use a stud and permagasket's gaskasinch? I think that's what it is. It's sticky and when you pull out the brush it spider web's bad. I use studs in both heads at the front and back like factory.
