It is not your nut that is leaking but the head gasket. No pressure should
be coming up through the head bolt holes.


Entity Walter E Stephens spoke thus:


I have just replaced the head on 90 Vanagon with a 2.1L engine.  I have a
leaky cylinder head nut.  I have tried 3 different sealants and nothing
stops the coolant from leaking past the nut.  I can not see a visable crack,
but the coolant just flows as if the nut were not there.


Has anyone else had a similar experience, or suggestion to make?  I hate to
have to remove the head again.
