Do I have a problem?

    Since I have a Buick and a Pontiac I thought I run my 65 Pontiac Catalina by this board. Today I took off the A/C bracket to paint it. It is held on by two Head bolts (front passenger side of engine). After a while I noticed a few drops of antifreeze coming out the one bolt hole and possibly on the bottom side of the head (It is hard to tell if it was damp on the bottom side from the bolt hole drip or from the bottom of the head leaking. As soon as I noticed I finished my painting and put the A/C bracket back on so I could tighten the head bolts again.
    Here's my questions:
    1. Is there any chance some antifreeze got into my cylinders or oil?
    2. If so, should I do anything beside change my oil?
    I have not started the car as I wanted to get some advice first.
    Thanks!

    I dont think any antifreeze got in the oil if it was just a few drips. Just torque them down properly using a torque wrench to the specified rating.

    Seems wierd that the bracket would atttach to the head bolts :confused:
