That third pic really shows it, definitely coming from that bolt. That really sucks man; hope the mechanic makes good on it.

Some good high temp thread sealant should stop that leak.

Be sure to clean threads on stud & head with brake cleaner & blast of air in threaded hole before applying thread sealer.
Let it sit overnight before firing up wouldn't hurt either.

I would really clean off area with a de-greaser spray and look for oil like the post above I think only antifreeze would come out the head maybe your rocker cover is leaking and running to that one corner. those bolts are like 1.25 long or near that length. Really don't see how a guy could punch into the head that far with a drill bit. GOOD LUCK hope its a oil cover leak instead

Ok thanks.

Also if you pull exhaust stud & there is no oil on threads or in hole then it is coming from something else.

Any updates 2012Lamarie?
Looks like I have similar issues.
The oil on the lover side of the Exhaust Heat Shield,driver side.

Still have the leak. I got it to go away for a couple months but it's back. I need to take a closer look. Planned on doing that tomorrow. Gotta pull the bolt and see if there is oil on it.

I didn't replace my Exhaust bolts yet,but the Exhaust Heat Shield is very loose,and there is oil just exactly like on your third picture.

I lost a quart of oil in 1000 miles. I am going to check the rest if the engine but it looks like it's coming from the bolt hole. Going to pull it out and see if there is oil on the threads

When the dealer did my bolts under warranty they pinched the corner of the valve cover gasket. By the time i got home there was oil leaking everywhere even the cab smelled like an oil rig. Hope maybe thats the problem. Now they did f up one of my holes on my head and replaced the head because they said antifreeze was leaking so not sure if oil would come out of the bolt hole or not.but the oil from the leak was all over the back of the motor,trans,ground dam everywhere

I'll check that. I hope that's what it is. I can fox that myself.

Ok pulled the bolt out, no oil. But oil is coming from somewhere right there. No oil on around the valve cover. So frustrating. And the threads on the hole are stripped. Fml

Can you get one of those mirrors on a stick type deal and get in between the firewall and the head. I believe the upper corner was my problem corner.

 

[Ribtipram]

Thats the problem with these exhaust bolts. Most of the time they come out some what easy. But if not and your not under warranty and have an issue you maybe in for a head or a bullchit patch job.

Did you ever find out what happened that caused the oil leak?
