As you can see in the picture on post #1, there is definitely a leak out of that stud. I do not have any noticeable water injection into the manifold yet (no signs of water in the hot section), but I think this thing was on the ragged edge of being completely blown open due to stud failure. It looks like corroded stud in the block was really the only thing slowing down the leak.
