several of the head bolts go directly into the water jacket...i think i would be more concerned about where the bolt went?????

Is it one of the bolts that isnt under the valve covers? Like at the very bottom of the head? If so, that shouldnt cause oil to get in your water...but then again, you probably wont have any water in the motor either...most of the bolts go right into the water jacket.
