I would think the valve body started leaking at the place where it was not held down (ie where the bolt came out) and the gasket is probably shot. Anyway, I thought those bolts held in the valve body, and the threads were in the case.
nah, those bolts just go through the valve body and the metal plate on the top side of the valve body. im thinking about pulling the valve body out and checking everything out to make sure its still intact. that would make my life so much easier
