crack in block?

[vwjones]

i have an mk1 with an oil drip and it seems to be coming from the bolt hole that holds the passenger side motor mount.  does the bolt go thru to the enginge?  doesn't sound possible to me.  i didn't torque it down like an idiot and i'm sure I didn't crack it.  any ideas?

I'm not extremely familiar with the 1.6 engines, but enough so not to think it goes all the way into the inside of the block.

the motor mount that is the injection pump bracket too? yea, those are held on my a whole bunch of bolts. but its probably just a cam seal.

I just examined my squekay clean block I got back from the machie shop today  ..   If you cracked one of those bolt holes you'd be leaking water before oil..  Probably a cam seal like Rabbit on Roids mentioned...

Yeah, there's water on the other side of those bolts... and the head's oil pressure passage is more than half way to the over side of the block.
