The bottom exhaust manifold bolt holes in the heads are drilled all the way into the push tube opening. Oil runs down the push tube to the lifter, the oil stays there and can come out past the lower exhaust manifold stud. We remove the bottom studs and put silicone/RVT on the threads (threads of the stud only)on the stud and reinstall. It's a common problem . All ETECH style engines are like this.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi about this problem of the exhaust manifold leaking oil. Where can I font the bolt that’s not the dealer I went and said don’t have any now.  I’m order but may be long any number for Amazon or something?   Just asking thanks 

PAI sells exhaust stud kits.  I assume you have an E-Tech engine.  You posted on a 3 year old thread, and there isn't enough info about what truck you have..  Jojo
