Alternator Bracket to Engine Bolt leaking oil?

Post by Fiat88 »

Is it possible for this bolt or stud to leak oil? Referring to the top bracket bolt to engine block on the drivers side.

I doubt it, unless the block is cracked. Clean off that area and run it again to see where the oil starts to come from.
