Which bolts on a 324 engine on the intake manifold need sealant? The shop manual doesn't really say, it just says to put sealant on all of them. I removed one of the center bolts to temporarily remove the spark plug wire holder and noticed a bit of coolant on the ground afterwards. I just want to confirm my suspicion here.

I think most of those bolts or studs screw into "wet" holes.
Use it on all of them, like the book says.
Can't hurt.

Thanks Charlie, I was worried I might have a leak somewhere else, it just leaked a little on the ground. I will put the bolt/stud back out and put some sealer on it. Thanks.
