can oil leak out of the manifold bolts on a 2000 mitsubishi montero sport

...that one just doesn't feel right. I suspect a cracked block so much so that the manifold bolt holes have oil from the oil jacket getting into the cavity. If it's a problem and you're losing oil, or there is oil in the coolant...be worried, else I'd just put up with a little smokin'

Never seen one leak oil around manifold bolts. But have seen valve cover leak down onto manifold bolts. Have also seen valve cover bolts leak oil. Specially shortly after a valve cover replacement. They had worked loose from head. A little silicone or weak lock tight on threads when installing will help them stay tight.
