Looking at the crank to flywheel section. I see no oil dripping. So oil leak is not there. After reading Ted’s statement I did not use studs in . I think the studs should have the middle unthreaded. Is that correct? But where can I easily find them. Each end is 5/16 18 total length 1’’ TO 1 1/4 OR 1 to 3/8’’

The studs are 5/16-18 on the retainer cap and 5/16-24 at the oil pan. Ted said that the overall length of the original studs is 7/8ths; however, the shortest studs I could find have an OAL of 1 1/4.

I just went to Amazon's site and searched 5/16-18 x 3/4 and found nothing that size. Is 3/4ths long enough?

Blackie, I had ordered an assortment of studs. 7/8 1 1/4 1 1/2. I can return the ones I don’t use. 1 1/4 IS THE ONE. Installed with thread sealer looks just right.
My plan, since working under the car, I’m putting two more studs in the front to hold the silicon gasket in place.

Thanks, Richard. I had already ordered Dorman 23733 Water Pump Stud Kit from Walmart. The retainer cap end is 5/16-18 x 7/16 and the pan end is 5/16-24 x 5/8. OAL is 1 1/4. It hasn't arrived yet, but I guess it will do.

FYI: The specifications listed by Dorman for the 23733 stud kit is incorrect. One end is 5/16-18 and the other 5/16-24 (as they should be); however, Dorman says that the 5/16-18 end is 7/16 while the 5/16-24 end is 5/8; this is backwards. The 5/16-18 end is 5/8 while the pan end is 7/16. The specified OAL of 1 1/4 is correct, but the included nuts are 5/16-18; they should be 5/16-24.One other thing: Dorman's photo displays zinc-plated studs, but they are black oxide.
I've sent an email to Dorman's Customer Service and pointed out the error. Unfortunately, retailers are using Dorman's specifications.
