I have an 84 dodge w-150 with a 318. I ordered some headers and went to take off the exhaust manifolds. When I took out the last bolt on one side anti-freeze started coming out. Wondering if it could be a cracked head or possibly because of messing with p/s pump bolt that goes through the water pump?  Any thoughts?

might just be from the mounting bolt. did it just trickle and stop or continue to trickle?

it was just a trickle not too much and did stop. I also changed the oil and there appeared to be very little or no antifreeze in it.

This is normal on the 80's dodge trucks.  The last bolt goes through the cooling passage on the head.  Nothing to worry about.
