Uh oh, I have an oil leak but why???

[flyinghighlm]

Well I thought I was getting close, I have everything to put the car back together and when I was putting the oil in I noticied oil was coming out from where one of the exhaust manifold studs would have been (bottom 2nd from the left as you are looking at the motor). The mani is off right now and most of the studs came out of the head so I just planed on putting new ones in. Now I know oil leaking is a bad thing but does this mean my head is toast or why is it coming out of there???? Help me.......Damn DSM why can't I stop fixing it and drive it

There are oil galleys behind some of the studs on the head. Replace the studs - no more oil leak.
