Tension bolt coolant leak

Hi,

I've just noticed small coolant leak from one of the bolts behind the flywheel. Is it something I should worry about?

Can I just unscrew it, put new washer and torque back?

thanks!

each one of those tension bolts has a washer/seal on them. if it were me, i'd probably try just replacing the one. keep in mind tho, it will have to be re-torqued back to spec. probably could even do all of them one by one. in sequence of course.

Do I have to drain the coolant before removing the bolt?
