I.was able to.see clip. Based.on what i saw, id.say its The.gasket. Either way ,once you take it apart to inspect,youll need New head gaskets. But The reason why they leaked , my guess would be some warpage thats out Of spec. Did you measure those heads.with a straight edge. And feeler gauges? Some sort Of installation error may be The cause.id go back check.my steps, best Of luck....

Thats Good, one less thing. Now on those studs, do they require any kind Of teflon tape Or other sealant like hylomar? K Im just trying to figure how they might leak From The studs.
