Caution!!!

Most C85s do not have any true through studs.  The latest cases have true 
through studs between the cylinders.  All others anchor the studs by 
threading them into the opposite case half.  A leak at one of these can be

caused by loss of clamping pressure on one of the studs.  Loss of clamping

pressure on the center main bearing is often the result of a prop strike
that 
cracks the case around the threaded end of the stud.

So, which stud is it that's leaking?
