Timing Chain Cover leaking!!!!

[Guero]

So I almost finish trhe car and I go and pressure the coolant system and it leaked out air but couldnt see from were so I put water in it and it leaks from to wholes the timing chain cover has that looked to be predrilled or something cuz I didnt do them and it didnt leak before I took it off. So wtf are those holes? Did I just use the wrong gasket which I doubt or wtf!!!!! Everything was going so smooth till know!!!

Which holes? Can you take a photo and show us? Now, some of the timing cover bolts go through water passages, you need to use thread sealant on those bolt threads. this is different stuff than threadlock, of course.

I think I just used the wrong gasket and its coming out those holes.

did you use any teflon tape on the bolts that go threw the coolant passages?
