minor anti freeze leak for cuda 340

[Ralph]

I have a minor anti freeze leak for my 73 cuda 340 that is hard to locate. Do the bolts that hold the power steering bracket to the block go thru the water jacket in the block ?

I did not use any sealant on these two bolts.

See the enclosed picture on the two small bolts to block just to the right of the balancer - they were painted with the block.

Thanks for your assistance

I believe they do. Use non-hardening Permatex on the threads. Don't install longer bolts; I recently saw a youtube video where a guy cracked that cylinder with a bolt that was too long.

Yes they do , use a thread sealer on them
