[AT] Slight Oil Leak

[charlie hill]

You might need to re-check the torque on your  head bolts.  Is there any 
sign of oil in the water or water in the oil?

What brand of tractor/engine are we talking about?  It would make more sense 
if you told us you were seeing water.  I can't figure out how oil would leak 
out around the manifold bolts.  Those holes are usually blind taped into the 
block or drilled through into a water jacket.  There may be some engines 
where they are drilled through into an oil passage.
