Hi Sean,

I have had that problem a couple of times in the past with different  
motors.  Ive always had success with Teflon Loctite.  Its white is  
color and readily available.  For the best results, lower the coolant  
level and the remove the manifold on the leaking side.  Coat the stud  
and thread it in tight.

hope this helps.
