Water seeping through intake stud???HELP

Just got my 460 running again and when timing it noticed some water seeping out of front drivers side stud. The engine is out of a 76 Lincoln has original intake stud etc. I figure the studs are in a coolant passage? and just need some sealant put on the threads but want to make sure. When I took the engine apart some of the studs did come loose from the heads. Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Yes,try a little silicone in the hole. Most Fords have water going across the front top of the engine through the intake, tying into the thermostat passage.
