241 heads leaking coolant

[ls1k5]

I have a stock 2000 SS with 241 heads that are leaking. D.side is leaking into the crankcase from a crack near the #3 head bolt and P.side is leaking from the #2 exhaust bolt. The motor ran perfect but lost water and the oil never got to the milkshake point. I'm leary of putting another set of 241s on it if it is common, has anyone else had this problem?

The front & rear exhaust bolt is kind of normal. I usually put a little ultra black on the threads. Now the head bolt might be a bad head gasket.

241s aren't known for problems (I'm running a set of ported and milled 241s myself...but if on is actually cracked this would be a good time to upgrade to a set of 243s or aftermarket heads
