I found a bolt hole on the block and I don't know what should be in it. I have changed the head gaskets and there is still a leak from the back corner on the drivers side. When I took off the tire and the exhaust manifold flange I saw the bolt hole and it look like that is where the leak is coming from. I'm not sure how to fix it.

Where is the hole? Back side to tranny, or side near fender, or what? Maybe you could post a picture?

The bolt hole is on the side of the block. Above the starter and just behind the rear down tube of the exaust manifold. It looks almost like you would mount something there. But I have no clue. I didn't take anything out of it. But it looks as thought something was there.(Clean inner threads and suface area). I will get a pic up soon.

Definetley antifreeze. It leaks from above the starter. And behind the exaust manifold. I dont think it's the head gasket. I had the head resurfaced and put on clean with new gasket and bolts.
