Did you remove a head bolt? On the 4.0 some of the head bolts are exposed to the coolant not sure if ghats true for the 4cyl or not. Some pictures would help.

No they where the side bolts of the valve cover.

No they where the side bolts of the valve cover.

Don't know how to help you...........

 

The VC bolts will not allow coolant to flow out of them.......if so.......you got serious problems.

 

If you cannot post pics..........?????????............don't' know what to say............

Bold 1.........VC is off......correct?

 

Bold 2........with VC off you started to take out other bolts........so it's not the VC bolts......>>correct?

 

 

Bold 2.....there are no bolt 'next' to the throttle body, so, you must mean the intake.....correct?

 

The bolts next to the intake are the head bolts......are they big bolt or small bolts? If they are big bolts and they are vertical to the engine block.....you are removing head bolts.

What size socket did you use to take the valve cover bolt out?

...and even if they are head bolts...unless it's Bolt# 11 there shouldn't be any coolant coming out.
