Have any of you personally seen coolant and/or oil seep onto the LIM from the bolts?

I personally just do not see how oil is going to work against gravity and travel 4 inches up the length of the bolts and get all over the manifold. I recently assisted a LIM on a 3.4 engine, and there was a little oil on the threads of the bolts, but no where near the head of the bolt.

For everyone using loctite on these bolts, the threads are already pre coated in loctite, just like your wheel bearing bolts.
