39 Dodge engine start up

Just started my engine for the first time since being rebuilt and noticed a little anti freeze leaking from one of the intake manifold bolts I only ran the engine for about 15 seconds then shut it down. What could cause that maybe the stud where it goes in the block is not seating right? I will not start the engine until I hear from someone I am really worried about this.   Thanks Gary

If you were running straight tap water, these leaks would probably "take up" or stop within a few days.   Antifreeze solutions will make their escape more readily than water and will persist.   If it were mine, I would run straight water for a week or two then refill with the antifreeze solution.
