Subject:      1985 Vanagon - unique head leak - not at gasket - 1 inch to the
              left at #2 top bolt?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"

My daily driver Vanagon has many miles on it.....

Today, in a mid-200 mile work trip, I sprung a leak - left (driver's) side head.
It appears to be leaking from bolt #2 (counting from forwardmost bolt back to rear of engine 1-4)

What would be occuring these heads were used and install probably 60K miles ago w/o any troubles since.....

What I'm asking is could the leak just be the bolt sealant or is my head likely cracked?
