6.0l Exhaust Manifold Bolt

[Taaaaaaahoe?]

We put the Lq9 6.0 motor in my Tahoe..

 

All was smooth but ONE tiny issue.. I forgot to put one of the exhaust manifold bolts on he drivers side.. 2nd or 3rd one from front.

 

Reason I saw this was b/c when we started the truck we noticed some coolant seeping from that hole. AS soon as we put the bolt in, there was no more issue.

 

I find it weird that coolant would come OUT of that exhaust manifold hole...

 

Once bolt was in there - I don't get any seeping out of there.

 

Thoughts??

I am thinking that the bolt hole goes all the way through to the water passages and you will leak if not installed and sealed.
