Ok was working on my 1948 F1, trying to get it together enough to attempt to start it. Installed the radiator and hoses. Well most of them, left the heater hose off by mistake so when I filled the radiator found that leak easy enough. The engine in a 1946 V8 59A. When I removed the exhaust manifold bolt on the drivers side front lower, water pours out. Being new to flathead I assume this is not normal. Also the two bolts going into the block are bigger in diameter than the remaining 4 bolts for the exhaust manifold. So My thought is that someone drilled and tapped those holes and drilled/tapped the lower one into the water passage. I would appreciate thoughts on my next steps. Thank you
