Default 351 intake leak

help i need some advice, i have a 1986 mustang that i put a 1995 351 windsor in about two years ago, someone else built the engine. it has about three thousand miles on it but it has been sitting for over a year because the powers that be closed all the local drag strips. well last sunday i cranked the car to let it idle, i do this about every two weeks or so, i noticed a small amount of water leaking around the front intake bolt drivers side, the heads are aluminum trickflows, do you guys think that it just needs to be resealed or something more serious, the water is around the top of the bolt also is there sealer used around any of the bolts on installation any help will be appreciated thanks RFBOWERS.

sounds like the sealer dried out, and is leaking, pull the bolt, re seal, and reinstall, then let her run again. These things do dry out, and as you probably know, sitting is the worse thing for a car.
