Have been thinking exactly what we had a problem with in manifold studs and water jacket. It was a long time ago so I may have to rescind my yes they do and say yes they can.

The more I think about it the problem we had was on one stud and caused by the machinist removing a broken stud and drilling in too far causing the leak. IIRC our issue was more in the center of the engine. The head studs and a couple of water pump bolts definitely go into the jacket but not that sure on the manifold now. I'd still re-torque and get some fluorescent dye before removing anything.
